I am speaking to the amendment. I am horrified that the Minister will not accept the amendment. I have a copy of the letter in my hand to give to him when I finish. Many thousands more letters were sent out by Phil Hogan. I will ask this Parliamentary Usher to please pass the letter to the Minister for Health. I thank the Usher. That is what it is. It is just a mockery. If people know the Minister cannot be trusted in his writing, how can they trust any utterance that would come from his mouth? None. I do not think the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, can stop me from asking an Usher to hand a letter to the Minister. That is standard practice here.
