I call Deputy Adams.

Labour has climbed to a new low.

Could we hear Deputy Adams, please?

The Ceann Comhairle would need a ladder to get down to Labour now.

Deputy Dooley, please.

It is the mudguard on the Honda 50.

Will Members allow Deputy Adams to ask his question without interruption, please?

Will the Minister explain precisely what Labour's role is in this Government?

Mudguard.

Will he measure his party's record thus far against its election promise that it would stop the worst extremes of Fine Gael? The Labour leadership's silence on the Minister for Health's explanation for siting the two primary health centres in his constituency and its sacrifice of one of its own Ministers of State are in marked contrast to its attitude in opposition.

Hear, hear.

Then, Labour railed against cronyism, golden circles and the failed social and economic policies of Fianna Fáil. Anois, tá siad ag baint úsáide as polasaithe atá díreach cosúil leis na polasaithe a bhí ag Fianna Fáil. Tá siad á n-úsáid acu sa tslí salach céanna.

This morning we have the revelations - I make no judgment in this - that a supporter of the Minister, Deputy Reilly, owns the site on which the primary care centre in Balbriggan is to be built.

Thus far, the Minister for Health has failed to set out in detail the criteria for the selection of locations for primary care centres.

The Sinn Féin spokesperson for health, Deputy Ó Caoláin, formally requested a review by the Ceann Comhairle of the unsatisfactory reply he received from the Minister to a parliamentary question on the matters. Does the Minister for Education and Skills believe these issues need to be clarified and accept the need for transparency? Will he call on the Minister, Deputy Reilly, to make a comprehensive statement to the Dáil later today when he takes the private notice question tabled by Teachta Ó Caoláin? Will he also ensure the Minister for Health will release all documentation on this matter for full public scrutiny? If he fails to do so, will the Labour leadership demand that he resign his position?

Which question would the Deputy like me to answer?

All of them.

At once.

He might answer mine as well. I am still waiting for an answer.

I am guided by the Chair. I have no doubt that the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, will deal with all the questions around the issue of primary care centres when he deals with the private notice question. He has already done that on a number of occasions.

Go on.

The fact that Deputies opposite may not be satisfied with the quality or quantity of the reply is for them to pursue. I have been asked whether I am satisfied that the Minister, Deputy Reilly, will deal comprehensively with the issues this afternoon, and my answer is "Yes".

I also asked the Minister to explain precisely what Labour's role is in this Government.

That is easy.

I will give way if the Minister wishes to answer.

The Minister may reply in time.

The Minister for Education and Skills------

What about the role of the IRA?

-----is defending a Minister who has completely failed to tackle the big issues in health. He has actually compounded the problems by bringing his own ideological and other baggage into this Department. He is up to his neck in the private health sector business.

That is a poor choice of words. A few people in here are up to their necks in issues.

He has failed to tackle consultants' pay and the price of drugs. He has imposed prescription charges on medical card holders and sliced funding from home help services. Where is Labour? Must the Labour Party wait? Is that what it is all about? This is not a question for Deputy Reilly but for the Minister who is present.

More kneecaps.

Could I have some order, le do thoil?

The Deputy should be allowed ask his question. Could we have some silence for two minutes?

We need it for more than two minutes.

Will the Minister explain Labour's role in this Government, particularly with respect to its record in opposition, when it correctly railed against this type of practice? Now the party is silent so will the Minister explain it?

They are all silent, including Deputy Ó Ríordáin.

If I were Deputy Adams, I would hesitate to refer to baggage and other Deputies in this House.

Hear, hear.

Answer the question.

Deputy Adams has plenty of baggage.

I would hesitate to refer to baggage.

Answer the question.

Get Roisín to answer.

Allow the Minister to respond.

The Labour Party and Fine Gael are attempting to rebuild the sovereign independence of this Republic following the disaster we inherited from the party opposite. That will not be done overnight. The last time we were in government we handed over a vibrant economy with a planned surplus.

Hear, hear.

Within 12 years, this was driven into the ground.

The parties opposite wanted more.

Deputy Mattie McGrath was one of them.

We never got any economic help or support from Sinn Féin-----

I see Deputy Coonan is here.

-----and we will continue with our mandate to repair the extraordinary damage done to this country. We lost over 250,000 jobs between 2007 and 2009.

Answer the question. The Government conned the people.

We are moving slowly but surely, and with great difficulty, to undo the damage done in the past. I am quite sure that all the Labour Party elected Members in this House and elsewhere will ensure that we will meet targets when we have to account for our service at the end of our mandate.
