Joe McHugh: I appreciate that the Minister of State cannot make individual interventions but I reiterate my request to make a special case for people with disabilities who have been waiting or who have been let down.

Joe McHugh: I thank Mr. Tony Murphy for his introduction. Deputies Neale Richmond and Ruairí Ó Murchú are first up for questions. I have an observation rather than a question.
