I implore the Taoiseach with regard to the health reform Bill, the number of people awaiting cataract operations on their eyes-----

For God’s sake, Deputy.

Surely be to God, in the health reform Bill we should allow for a situation where people who need these operations will be dealt with and will not have to wait two and three years.

Maybe the Deputy would put down a parliamentary question or a topical issue. The Deputy cannot do this on the Order of Business every day.

It is under the health reform Bill.

It is parish pump politics. It is not for this Chamber.

The Government has made promises and I know the Ceann Comhairle respects promises.

The Deputy can put down a topical issue.

I am talking about people who are going blind in hospital and waiting at home to have cataract operations to be carried out.

That is not for the Order of Business. There is a time limit. I thank the Deputy.

This is a serious issue and I would like the Taoiseach to address it.

I do not have a date for that Bill. The issue of the operations is a different matter.

What about the people waiting for cataract operations?
