Medical cards for sick children

Summary

Deputy McDonald calls for medical cards to be restored to sick children with disabilities, but the Chair rules the matter outside the Order of Business.

On the Tánaiste's response earlier in respect of medical cards, he was as robotic, unconvincing and detached as was the Minister for Health last night.
