With regard to the health (amendment) (No. 2) Bill, the Government proposes to slash €3 million from the budget for home help hours every month until the end of the year.

Here we go again. Every day I have to tell the Deputy that contributions must be relevant to the Order of Business.

I raise a very important issue.

I am aware of that, but the Deputy should table a parliamentary question.

Some €3 million will be cut every month until the end of the year.

The matter is out of order and I will not allow the Deputy to raise it.

Does the Taoiseach realise the effect these cuts will have on those being cared for at home?

When is the health (amendment) (No. 2) Bill due?

It will be next year before-----

This is a very important issue.

All these matters are very important, but they may not be raised on the Order of Business.

The Bill will be taken next year. I remind Deputy Michael Healy-Rae that anybody who needs a home help service will have one.
