I have a question about the Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014 and one about the implementation of Bills relative to care workers already passed by the House, as well as on the report in the newspapers over the weekend on the alleged sexual abuse that had taken place on the borders of Kilkenny and Waterford over a 20 year period. The matter was reported to the Health Service Executive, but no action was taken. What action can the Government or the Minister now take under the whistleblowers’ legislation when that type of accusation is made, where it is shown that procurement practices have been breached and substantial sums of taxpayers’ money have been paid for reports and, in some cases, to assist in the cover-up of sexual abuse to ensure all of this is brought to a head?

Will the Taoiseach comment on the protest outside Leinster House today-----

The Deputy cannot have a comment.

-----by a Kilkenny family whom he has met about the provision of “Jake’s law”? The case was made to him on the basis of the death of the child in a housing estate and the introduction of speed limits. I am told the Taoiseach may consider the introduction of legislation on this issue. Is that the case? Would he support legislation to bring forward that speed limit to deal with the concerns raised by the family?

I do not have the details of the abuse case mentioned by the Deputy, but I may have read some of them. I will have him advised on the options that are now open, either in respect of the whistleblowers’ legislation or the implementation of Bills already put through. It is a serious matter on which I will advise the Deputy.

I commiserate with and again tender my sympathy to Roseann Brennan on the death of her little son, Jake, who was knocked down by a car and ran to his mother but subsequently died. I met Mrs. Brennan, while the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport has met her on, I think, five occasions to discuss this matter. The Government does not intend to oppose the Private Members' Bill this evening. Deputy John McGuinness is aware that several agencies are involved in determining speed limits - the local authority, the Road Transport Authority, the Garda and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and residents. I hope that, where appropriate, very careful reflection will be given to what the Bill is about arising from the sad case Mrs. Brennan has brought to national attention. I was happy to meet her, as was the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. The Government is not opposing the Bill.
