Last week, I raised the fact that Deputy Pringle had requested a debate on the national maternity hospital. In his response, the Taoiseach said that he was not averse to such a debate. The Chief Whip was sitting behind him at the time. Despite this, when Deputy Pringle raised the matter again in a meeting of the Business Committee, it was still not put on the agenda. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure such a debate is included on the agenda for this week or for when we come back from the break.
