Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I add my voice to those who have raised serious questions regarding the possibility of the early release of the murderers of Detective Garda McCabe. The Taoiseach has a duty to tell this House what are his plans, if any, in regard to this proposal.

I wish also to draw Members' attention to the "Prime Time" programme regarding people with intellectual disabilities aired last night. It highlighted, once again, the plight of many families throughout the country trying to cope with children and adults suffering such disabilities and the lack of services available to them.

The disability Bill has not yet come before us. I ask the Leader to request the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, to bring it before us prior to the local elections.
