Agreed.
We shall proceed then to deal with item No. 9.
Are there any proposals to amend the 1970 Act, in view of the fact that details in that Bill provide for people who are entitled to free medical services and a circular has been sent to health boards to introduce charges for a number of medical card services?
Is there legislation proposed in this area?
Not that I am aware of.
For the purpose of the Adjournment Debate this evening, I ask permission to raise the question of Southern Unidig (Ireland) Limited, their work conditions and the role of the Department of Social Welfare in providing cheap labour to that company through the Jobsearch programme.
I shall communicate with the Deputy.
I wish to raise on the Adjournment the matter of the death of another child from solvent abuse in this State and the failure of the Government to bring forward legislation to ban the sale of these solvents to children under age.
I shall communicate with the Deputy.
May I raise on the Adjournment the Government's cancellation of Knocklyon primary school and the future use of the land acquired by the State for the building of the school?
