On another issue, the Minister for Transport reported yesterday that he would spend €10 million replacing speed signs throughout the country. That would be ridiculous. It would not be wise at a time of such cutbacks in the health area. Cash starved health boards up and down the country are cutting home help services, the carer's allowance, community initiatives and so on. It is important that the Government gets its act together and that we have a debate on this issue.
