Anybody who was listening to "Morning Ireland" this morning heard a nurse from St. Vincent's Hospital. I do not believe anybody can blame the nursing staff for taking the action they are taking. On a number of occasions, I have myself lain in St. Vincent's in the middle of the accident and emergency department, having been admitted with chest pain, and I can tell the Leader it is not a nice experience. I do not know how they work in it.

We have the FEMPI Bill going through the House at the moment. Yesterday I asked the Minister, Deputy Howlin, if voting on the Bill was going to be whipped. The Minister did not answer. I want to know if I am wasting my time coming in here tomorrow for Committee Stage.
