Equality is a buzzword at the moment. DESSA is the Disability Equality Specialist Support Agency. People might not realise that the Minister, Deputy Reilly, has completely cut funding to this core service, which provides essential nationwide services and supports to the families of disabled children.

Deputy Healy-Rae is straying a bit.

Commitments were given in the programme for Government. Could the Minister explain how one can rationalise what was outlined in the programme for Government compared to what the Minister, Deputy Reilly, has done in recent days?

With your indulgence, a Cheann Comhairle, like my colleague, I wish to inquire about a second issue, namely, the health equality legislation. I wish to highlight the fact that the Government Chief Whip, the Taoiseach and all of this mighty Government have cut funding from €79 million-----

This is the Order of Business.

-----to €38 million. The funding was for services for disabled people in their homes and was allocated through local authorities.

Deputy Healy-Rae is really straying now.

Funding has been cut for people who want to get a grant to put in a shower in their house.

I am sorry, but the Deputy should please desist. He has had a good run and he should not abuse it.

That funding has been cut from €79 million to €38 million.

This is the Order of Business.

Deputy Healy-Rae is a mighty man.

This is the Order of Business.

I refer to health equality legislation.

No. This is the Order of Business. We deal with promised legislation.

Former Members of this House cut a lot too.

I am not aware of any proposed health equality legislation.
