Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

We must face 833 or 834 councillors to whom we would do a disservice if we did not express our views in this regard in this Chamber. I appeal to the Minister of State and the Minister for Health and Children to exclude the debarment of local authority members from membership of the Health Information and Quality Authority. We will discuss this matter at a meeting of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party this evening because we feel so strongly about it.
