The programme for Government includes a commitment for dental services. On the basis of population, County Kerry should have seven dental clinics but it has four. We are being treated unfairly in comparison with our neighbours in County Cork, with whom I have absolutely no problem. I want County Kerry to get its fair share, which we are not getting at present. We should have seven dental clinics but have four. As a result, young people in the county are waiting for urgent attention for their teeth. I ask the Taoiseach to do something to highlight the issue with the Health Service Executive.
