Before coming to the Order of Business, I propose to deal with a notice under Standing Order 32.

I am delighted that the Taoiseach has said he will provide all the answers because this issue is important.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: to build the Cystic Fibrosis Unit at St. Vincent's Hospital; deplores the delays on this project; and, finally, calls on the Minister and Government to make this unit a priority project. We discussed this before the summer recess. Will the Taoiseach haul some of these guys in to see what is going in the HSE and the Department of Health and Children and let them get on with building this unit? There are 100,000 unemployed construction workers who are looking for work.

As far as I know, and the Minister for Finance can confirm it, €20 million is ring-fenced for this issue.

The Deputy is heavily into the embellishment business at this stage.

Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
