Kieran O'Donnell: I am delighted to speak on this important and timely motion tabled by our spokesman on enterprise, trade and employment, Deputy Varadkar. I wish to make one reference to the budget.

Medical Cards: Motion (Resumed) (22 Oct 2008)

Kieran O'Donnell: I fully support the Fine Gael motion. On tonight's news the Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, was quoted as saying the Government had learnt from its mistakes and the matter was now resolved. It is far from resolved.
