Ambulance facility and fluoride Bill
Michael Healy-Rae objects to locating an ambulance base in an allegedly unsafe Townsend Street facility and asks about the fluoride repeal Bill. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle directs the facility concern to the Topical Issues procedure, while the Taoiseach refers the post-office matter to the Minister.
Yes; the Taoiseach can answer the question on the communications Bill.
I have made an official complaint to HIQA and the Health and Safety Authority because no independent safety audit has been carried out on a facility at Townsend Street that is not fit for purpose, where the HSE proposes to put an ambulance base to replace those that are closing in Kerry and Cork. They are being put into a facility that has been deemed in the past as not fit for purpose. There are five computer systems that do not interact with each other, and this simply will not work. It is not viable or safe, and that is I why I have made formal complaints on the matter.

No, it falls under the health (amendment) Bill. Also, when will the fluoride repeal Bill come before the House?
