It is quite clear there should have been a discussion in the House on NAMA. Many Members of the House have a great deal to say about it. Fine Gael has a position on the Government's recommendations in this area which we would welcome an opportunity to debate. That is a debate we need to have which would be very relevant and of enormous concern to many people who are seeking loans from banks and are unable to get them.

We hear today about €17 million being given to consultants for reports on the HSE. We have had discussions in the Seanad about the executive. Can we have clarity from the Government on the future of the HSE? There was talk about reform. Where is it at and can we have a debate in the House on it?

I could go on but the essential point is that I want a debate on the business of this House and how it is to be scheduled between now and June. I would like the points I have raised to be dealt with by the Leader.

It is very clear from its comments in recent days that the Green Party wants to keep Fianna Fáil in Government, despite the public wanting to see a change in Government.
