Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole, Alex White, Coghlan and Buttimer all expressed their serious views and concerns on the new reports which were published yesterday on the health service and the HSE in general. It is my intention that we will have a lengthy debate on the matter in the House at the earliest opportunity. Now that the reports have been published, I will try to confirm a date, subject to the Minister's diary commitments.

Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole, Alex White, Burke and Donohoe all called for a debate on Transport 21 and the delivery of projects. Newspapers report today that some projects are running a little late.
