Senator Darragh O'Brien spoke about medical cards and called for a debate with the Minister for Health. A number of Members have asked for the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, to come to the House. He will be here on 4 November for a comprehensive debate on health matters. At least three Members asked that the Minister come to the House to deal with various subjects. They will have an opportunity to discuss the health service and the areas they mentioned on 4 November.

Senator Darragh O'Brien made a valid point on Sinn Féin and how many people involved in sexual abuse might Sinn Féin and the IRA have banished to counties around the country. This is something which will have to be answered. It is all very well saying that information should be given to the police forces. That is correct but we must also have accountability from Sinn Féin regarding the people who came before these kangaroo courts and where they were banished. The public needs to know that.
