Seán Fleming: It is important to do an information campaign on that so people will know their Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection information will be linked in to their Revenue information. It is good, it is the right way and it is the up-to-date way to operate. People will think that because I raised it I am the reason for it happening but Revenue was doing it anyway.

Seán Fleming: Can the Department of Finance send us a note on that? I know we are at the end of the road on that matter, it has been running a while and we are all familiar with it.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (4 Dec 2019)

Seán Fleming: On behalf of the people of Laois, I have to express severe disappointment that the Minister, Deputy Harris, is not here today. The Minister should be here because the problems at the Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise are firmly within his resolution. He is the only person who can solve them. In light of his failure to attend this debate, I formally invite him to visit the hospital...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (4 Dec 2019)

Seán Fleming: I addressed my opening statement to the Minister, Deputy Harris. People will be shocked that the Minister is not here to respond to this Topical Issue matter, which was selected yesterday for discussion today. I expected the Minister to be here.

Seán Fleming: The reference to private members' clubs and who is covered by the legislation is causing much confusion.

Seán Fleming: I will use this opportunity to give a full contribution rather than coming in with bits and pieces and extending the debate unnecessarily. The debate on Report Stage of this legislation has such interest for two reasons. First, there is a very effective lobby group out there. Second, the Minister of State did not get clarity out to the public quickly enough in response. I was confused up...
