Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Cathaoirleach for giving me the opportunity to raise this very important matter on behalf of the people of Ballinagh. I join in the words of welcome to the Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan, and I thank him for coming to the House to deal personally with a matter relating to his own Department and for agreeing to take this matter on behalf of the Minister for Health.

I wish to share my time with my colleague, Senator Kathryn Reilly, if that is agreeable.
