I am aware of the lack of proper emergency dental service in Dublin at present. The provision of such a service is among matters being discussed between representatives of my Department and the Dublin Dental Hospital, and by a group chaired by the Minister of State at my Department, Deputy Leyden, which has been looking specially at the dental services and from whom I expect a report in a matter of a week or so.
