Oireachtas Members attended a meeting with the Health Service Executive yesterday on the health service in the midlands, which is why I call for this debate. The Leader, Senator Cassidy, promised that the Minister would come to the House but she has not done so. She is coming to deal with the pharmacy issue because it is topical but I am talking about the sale of three acres of land on the St. Loman's Hospital site. Where will that money go? Will it go back into the psychiatric services where it can have an affect for the people who need it most? We need an Alzheimer's unit. The family of a 49 year old man came to me yesterday because they have nowhere to put him because there is no Alzheimer's unit in the midlands. It maddens me that we are over and back, slagging each other off about the Taoiseach's finances when the real issues are being deflected from, namely, health and education.
