John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I am disappointed with the Minister of State's comments. He has outlined the increases in spending that have taken place but he did not outline any improvements in services or real conversion among the Government parties to a new sense of value for money that the ordinary members of the public want. I hope that over the course of the debate he will have his eyes opened somewhat by other Members if he is not prepared to listen to what I have to say.
