I congratulate the Ministers on their appointments and particularly the Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney who is a safe pair of hands in what I consider a very delicate role for the next number of months, and years I hope. He will be very secure in doing the job that he has been given. He knows I mean that.

This is a very important issue. Deputy McGrath has highlighted one specific issue that I want to raise with the Minister and I believe he will be proactive in this regard. When pay-per-weight eventually will come in there will have to be an exemption made for people, teenagers or adults, who have medical problems which mean that there is a use of nappies. That would impose an awful burden on people.
