Finally, there is the issue of aftercare. Does Linn Dara have aftercare or is it at such a level that aftercare is under a different ambit?

Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister to the House. I have visited people in County Clare whose homes are affected by pyrite. They are decent, honest and hard-working people. Some of them do not have their homes that long. Others have had their homes for quite some time and are on the verge of retirement. They have found themselves in a situation in which their homes are disintegrating around them....

It is the right thing to do. It is a terrible situation when a child gets sick, and a mother or father must debate whether to bring the child to hospital for financial reasons. I do not think too many parents...

Martin Conway: When she goes to her GP, she should be able to avail of whatever he or she recommends as the best form of contraception. Not being able to do so because she does not have the resources should not be an option. It is very welcome that this measure has been introduced up to the age of 25.
