Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

There is a need for reform of the manner in which we do our business. This is a genuine and serious point. I have asked questions in the Chamber about health, the HSE, education and finance and economics, among other matters, and the follow-up has been very poor. There is one issue about which I am deeply concerned, namely, the reduction in fees to pharmacists. I was advised the Minister was to come to address the House on this but I hear this morning that she may not be in the House until September. There are many other issues I have raised. Senator Buttimer was talking about my colleagues in government and whether they are yellow-bellies, langers or whatever they are called.
