I thank the Minister of State for the explanation. I ask him to revert to me regarding the medical cards with the date of 2035 and the number of such cards which have been issued. Were they issued as a result of a glitch in the system? I know of a person with a medical card dated 2035. The person concerned is eligible for a medical card. I ask if the Minister of State's Department could issue a local notice about this matter in County Donegal or the north-west region. The perception in Donegal was that the county was being targeted as this problem did not arise in other areas. For example, people in Sligo did not have this problem. I ask if the Minister of State could give some good news to people in Donegal before the budget.
