Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader invite the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, to the House to have an urgent debate on the cuts in pharmacists' margins. I note The Irish Times today had a report that the Minister has written to Fianna Fáil backbenchers. Could the Deputy Leader tell the House whether the Green Party has been ignored because it has become irrelevant or has locked into the issue completely?
