The Minister is very welcome to the House. I commend Senators Pauline O'Reilly, Garvey and Hackett for introducing a very practical Private Members' motion. This could be achieved for a small cost. This evening the Minister can confirm to the House that the Department will fund the acquisition of this necessary equipment for hospitals in Ireland. There is no reason we cannot do it and I am very confident the Minister will do so. All I can say is that this makes sense. A lady in the Gallery has benefited enormously from this. Let us make it happen tonight.
