One more budget, to all intents and purposes. The bottom line is that he did not provide additional funding to older people but actually cut it back savagely. He did not provide additional supply and better care for older people in the community and in residential settings. He has not, to my knowledge, published the fair deal review. We had the appalling situation last year where people had to wait 15 weeks. When are we going to get some action on the programme for Government in respect of the elderly? What is the Taoiseach's position on the comments of Age Action and ALONE?

I have no intention of changing the legislation in respect of the periods of Government, which are five years. The Constitution provides for seven years, in a real emergency. The Deputy can rest easy. I have no intention of changing the legislation.
