‹ Order of Business Private health insurance costs
Summary
Michael Healy-Rae highlights the burden of private-health-insurance costs and says the issue will receive a later Topical Issue debate after the Ceann Comhairle rules it out of order.
The Ceann Comhairle has ruled out of order the first matter about which I wished to pose a question, namely, when the White Paper on universal health insurance would be brought forward. People were already crippled by the amounts they were obliged to pay for private health insurance before this morning's announcement. However, I cannot speak on this matter-----

I hope the Taoiseach will do something because people are at their wit's end trying to pay for private health insurance.
