On a point of order, Sir, before we proceed I would ask you to allow at the end of Question Time a debate on the staffing and equipment of Naas County Hospital. You notified me that this was out of order as the matter was one for the health board concerned. However, I have discovered since that the staffing of the hospital is a matter for Comhairle na nOspidéal.

I will look later into what the Deputy is saying.

They are responsible directly to the Minister so the only way in which I can communicate with them is through the Minister. I am asking that an adjournment debate be allowed in order to discuss this matter which is of vital importance to the people of Kildare and in circumstances in which there is no registrar at Naas Hospital.

The Deputy may not pursue the question now but I shall have another look at the point he is making.

Will time be made available for discussion of the matter?

I shall investigate what the Deputy is saying in order to ascertain whether he has been done any wrong by this decision and I shall communicate with him later.
