Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the Minister of State. I was made aware the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, would not be able to take this Topical Issue tonight but, in fairness to her, I have worked very closely with her and can say she is totally committed to trying to recruit for disability services.

Thomas Gould: Cork's heroic victory over Limerick last weekend will go down in history as one of the most exciting games of the modern time but thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people were not able to watch it, including diehard GAA people and hurling people who love the game. So far, not one of Cork's hurling championship matches have been on television. The games against Clare and Waterford were...

Bernard Durkan: I thank the Minister of State for a comprehensive reply. In it, he identified all of the pinch points that are already visible and causing problems. The Minister of State is correct.

In some...

I was disappointed to read in a response to a parliamentary question I submitted that the HSE has delayed a new children's service facility in Carlow which was to be the new home for the CDNT. Part of that was to include the Holy Angels centre. A funding...
