Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I support the calls by Members on all sides of the House for a debate on the compilation of the register of electors. The situation could be described as that of ongoing narcosis. In the wake of an election in 1979 in which I was elected, there was debate in Westmeath County Council on the inaccuracies of the electoral register. That debate takes place after every election, so the good thing about this debate is that it is taking place before an election.

I also support the call for a debate in this House on accident and emergency services. We had a useful debate on the issue some time ago. I would like the debate to focus on the abuse of the services as well as on their use.

I call on the Leader to invite the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment into the House, with a view to making a regulation that obliges the catering industry to provide detailed bills to customers. At the moment, a legislative void exists with regard to this matter. Many outlets do not provide itemised bills and on three separate occasions when I asked for an itemised bill, I discovered I had been overcharged. The case has been well made for introducing legislation to rectify that situation.
