Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I support Senator Leyden's call for an ongoing debate on the health service. It has been brought to my attention that there are 23 beds on the corridors of Mayo General Hospital this week, while 17 beds lie vacant in the orthopaedic unit.

Will the Leader call an early debate on the position of Aer Lingus and the second terminal at Dublin Airport? Does the Government have a timeframe for making a decision on those matters.
