Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader arrange the meeting he agreed to arrange last week between Oireachtas Members from County Westmeath with the National Roads Authority? I am sure this is still uppermost in his mind and I look forward to the meeting as soon as possible.

The €3 billion provided to the Anglo Irish Bank was found within the Central Bank and if I, as a mother, had a child who was ill and in pain in Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin I would find the money for the necessary operation. We had a major debate in the House last week on the issue of Crumlin hospital and the reasons sick and ill children are left without help and that money cannot be found to open a closed operating theatre and closed wards for them before the end of the summer. This is unacceptable. Will the Leader let Members know when the Minister for Health and Children will come to the House to answer these questions?
