221 Deputy Jimmy Devins asked the Minister for Health and Children when she will proceed with the appointment of a second consultant dermatologist for the north west to be based in Sligo and Letterkenny General Hospitals. [22984/10]

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
