On the programme for Government and the commitment towards mental health community teams, the health committee was told recently that only 60% of the 114 mental health teams have a seven day service. This is where I have an issue with the Minister, Deputy Harris, and Mr. Tony O'Brien. That is only one of the terrible things going on with the HSE. A 14 year old girl has been languishing for the past ten weeks in a paediatric ward in Clonmel hospital.

Is the Taoiseach going to continue to save Mr. O'Brien and the Minister, Deputy Harris? In terms of the paragraph the Taoiseach read out earlier, the Minister, Deputy Harris, is nothing but a puppet for the HSE. He signed off on that letter to allow this man go off to an American company. He is already on a salary from the HSE of €192,000 a year. I want the Taoiseach, in the interests of the women and children of Ireland, and the mental health of the people of Ireland, to immediately dispose of the services of the Minister and Mr. O'Brien. It must be remembered that Mr. O'Brien had a track record of deceit with the Irish Family Planning Association and what he did there before he ever came into the HSE. There was no investigation of that, and the Taoiseach was the Minister for Health at that time. Both of them have to go, not one or the other but the two of them in unison. If the Taoiseach has a shred of credibility or respect for the women and children in this country, the Minister and Mr. O'Brien have to be sacked.

I remind the House that we are not an adjudicatory body when we refer to people outside the House. Whatever about politicians, we can do that. I remind the House to be careful.

We should stop them from saying it, and not after they say it.

I have a great respect for the Minister, Deputy Doherty, and I know she is a very intelligent person but if she can tell me in advance what someone is going to say, I would be very happy to consult her every morning.

I have huge respect for the Leas-Cheann Comhairle too but he can hear, as we can all clearly hear, the damage that has been done by certain Members.

I made a statement this morning and there is no point in criticising me afterwards because however intelligent I might or might not be, I am not that psychic. There are times when I do not know what Deputy McLoughlin is going to say. I do not know what the Taoiseach is going to say now, but I will allow him to respond if he so wishes.

The Minister of State, Deputy Jim Daly, will respond.

I do not know if the Leas-Cheann Comhairle knows what I am going to say but I will do the best I can. As Deputy McGrath is aware, I have offered to meet him at 2.30 p.m. this afternoon.

I appreciate that.

In the area of mental health, if he is looking for a scalp he will have to add my name to that list.

No. I will not.

On the seven day service side, we are making significant progress on delivering that, and it is very important. One of the most crucial services we will deliver this year is a seven day service for mental health. It is long overdue but I am confident that by the end of June, we will have made substantial progress on rolling out a seven day service for people of all ages with mental health issues. That will be a very significant development. I will be engaging with Deputy McGrath and his colleagues representing the Tipperary area at 2.30 p.m. or 3 p.m.

A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, on the substantive matter-----

The Deputy does not have a second opportunity to speak.

Is the Taoiseach going to sack Mr. O'Brien?

Deputy, I ask you to resume your seat.

He did not answer the question.

I have no control over that. I will tell the Deputy again, and Members on all sides of the House, that we are not an adjudicatory body for people outside the House.

The Taoiseach is for the Minister, Deputy Harris.

When whatever is set up to investigate this there will be opportunities to decide on that.
