Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

Senator O'Keeffe, along with Senators Norris, Conway, Mooney and Comiskey, spoke about the Cregg House issue. Everybody complimented the devotion and professionalism of the staff in Cregg House and there is clearly a problem with the deficit there. I will take up the matter with the Minister for Health and perhaps an Adjournment matter could be raised as well. Senator Comiskey has stated that Members could try to arrange a meeting with the Minister in order to solve this issue. I will bring the matter to the Minister's attention and I recommend that Senators with an interest in the matter would try to arrange a meeting with the Minister to discuss it. The issue must be solved and everybody agrees that tremendous work is done in Cregg House, which should be complimented.

Senator Norris spoke about the Israeli Embassy. If the Senator provides me with all the information he has, I will pass it to the Tánaiste and we can see where it goes from there.
