Richard Boyd Barrett: I commend Deputy Gino Kenny on his leadership on this critical issue in our society. The lack of leadership and courage on the part of the Government is depressing. Yet again, it wants to kick down the road a key issue of social change and the recognition of social reality, instead of doing the right thing. This is especially the case given the citizens' assembly has made the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Okay. I do not know if this is within the Minister of State's remit. One of the things I hear again and again when it comes to e-government is the lack of digitisation in the health service and the consequent fragmentation of information relating to patients, because things are not joined up. I hear story after story of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, where there...
