Niall Collins: I thank the Deputy very much for his contribution. I know he has a great interest in this area. He has partaken in discussions on youth diversion before.

With that in...

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State, but it does not give me any confidence. In the last line of his response he said, "I would like to reassure the Deputy, and all patients... in the mid-west, that this Government is fully committed to improving health services in the region." I have received the same reply since 2016 when I first started raising this nine years ago. The fact remains that we...

Simon Harris: The Bulmers analogy is important. We should always be asking if there is any added benefit from a particular layer. If there is not, it should be got rid of.

We got rid of the fourth, third and second gates. There is...

That is 75% of the time that has elapsed since the election in which the Government has not come to...
