Tom Shehan (Fine Gael)

I call on the Leader to bring the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources before the House to address the discrepancies and deficiencies in the roll-out of the Saorview project. I have had contact from people in my constituency who have bought the digital box who were then told that there was no reception in their area. In one case, a person bought a new television before discovering that there was no reception.

We must welcome the work that HIQA does, but we should bear in mind that reports were done over the last ten years by HIQA and bodies other than HIQA on the closure of St. Finian's Psychiatric Hospital in Killarney, yet it is still open to this day. The Minister for Health should come to the House to discuss the closure of these antiquated institutions as a matter of urgency.
