Pa Daly: That is okay. I will just ask a few questions then. I understand Deputy O'Callaghan's point about sending a strong message from the Oireachtas on knife crime.

Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)

Pa Daly: I thank the Social Democrats and Deputy Shortall for bringing this motion. It typifies the lack of attention and lack of care of the Minister that he is not here to address this.

The state of dental services, particularly for children and the elderly,...
