I wish to raise the matter of my Private Notice Question regarding Down's Syndrome disease in Dundalk and the fact that it has been disqualified because of lack of urgency.
The Chair will communicate with Deputy Kirk.
Why was this Private Notice Question disallowed in view of the fact that the Minister for Health is in the House?
I suggest that the Deputy should call to my office if he wants that information.
