Order of Business

Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
Like previous Senators, I deeply regret the decision of BUPA to pull out of the Irish market and the loss of jobs involved. I also regret the removal of this element of competition. At the same time, I must praise the Minister for Health and Children for upholding the principle of community rating in public policy guidelines. I am not a believer in unbridled competition.
