129 Deputy Beverley Flynn asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 2 has not yet received notification of whether their renewal application for a medical card has been successful. [24682/10]

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.
