Enda Kenny: A report in today's The Irish Times states that the Health Service Executive will propose to Government a change in the legislation on health.

Order of Business (3 Jul 2008)

Enda Kenny: I am interested in the basis for the Ceann Comhairle's ruling today that it is not in order to ask questions about matters of legitimate public interest concerning Supplementary Estimates for Departments.
