My question is about the lack of services in my county over the past fortnight. Many community services have been taken away. In Dundalk, the births, deaths and marriages service has been withdrawn in the town, which is one of the largest in Ireland, and the Dunleer social welfare office has closed. The Minister who is sitting beside the Taoiseach indicated on local radio that this was only a temporary measure.
