I refer to Sean D. Barrett's comments on the postcodes. For me, it was a case of putting the cart before the horse because I think the postcodes should have been introduced before centralisation of ambulance dispatch stations. There have been too many cases of ambulances going to incorrect addresses with terrible consequences for those in need of an ambulance.

I welcome the youth guarantee scheme launched today by the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Joan Burton, and the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn. A very good press statement was issued at Government Buildings where a question and answer session took place. Given that we have more details on how it will work, this would be a good time to debate it in the House where any questions Members may have would be answered. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister, Deputy Burton, to come to the House for a debate on the youth guarantee scheme.
