With regard to the health care initiative Bill, I want to put on the record of the Dáil the case of Diarmuid Doyle of Ashgrove, Kenmare.

The Deputy will not put it on the record of the Dáil.

He has suffered from multiple sclerosis for 30 years.

The Deputy should not act the maggot here again.

He has given me his permission. For 30 years, he has suffered from multiple sclerosis.

This is on promised legislation.

His medical card was taken away last week.

Will the Deputy please resume his seat?

He has had multiple sclerosis for 30 years.

Will the Deputy please resume his seat and table a parliamentary question?

He cannot do anything for himself.

I will not be calling the Deputy in future if he does not adhere to the rules in the House.

The Ceann Comhairle would make the same point if he were in my shoes.

But I would not do it on the Order of Business.

I am raising it under the health care initiative Bill.

The Deputy is quite entitled to-----

Under the initiative, can the Government do something-----

Will the Deputy please resume his seat?

-----to deal with the issues raised earlier? It is a very fair point.

There are plenty of other ways of raising these issues.

Will the Minister answer the question on the health care initiative Bill? Is it promised? What will the Government do about it?

We do not have a publication date for that legislation.
