An urgent debate is needed on the HSE itself and with regard to the pharmacy dispute. Senator Glynn, for whom I have great respect, spoke of the middle ground, but that cannot be achieved by the Minister hiding behind the HSE, which is bullying and instilling fear in ordinary people in rural Ireland. I ask the Leader, at this late stage, to invite the Minister to the House this week to address this matter.
