Joe O'Toole (Independent)

We dealt with an issue yesterday and the comments on it by the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Tim O'Malley. Let us see what the budget does in that regard. We could still have a debate and focus on that issue after hearing what the Minister has to say about how he will spend his money. Other groups also have an interest as their budgets have been hit severely in recent times. I have been in contact with the Department on a number of occasions about the Irish Osteoporosis Society. Various other groups look forward to improvements also. If we cannot have the debate before the budget, we can discuss these issues afterwards. Does the Leader think there will be something new in the budget of which we have not yet heard?
