I contacted the HSE again recently but there is still no update. I am sure the...

Imelda Munster: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The previous speaker said that Sinn Féin should bring forward legislation.

Imelda Munster: The Minister did not mention the stay and spend tax incentive. I hope that is not on the cards for this season again. Last year, it was a complete flop.
