The Senator has gone overboard again. He does not believe what is in the newspapers, but then goes beyond it. I take his comments with a grain of salt.

I note the comments of Senator John Crown about universal health insurance. There is a White Paper on the topic and we will arrange a debate on that discussion document.

Senator Paschal Mooney referred to the statement made by the Minister for Finance. Any budgetary measure depends on revenue and expenditure. Later in the year we will decide what should be included in the budget and the Minister will say what will be in it.

With regard to the situation in Ukraine, if Senator Paschal Mooney looks at the schedule, he will see that there is a debate scheduled for tomorrow. I have already mentioned the CEDRA document.
