Three Deputies remain. If they ask their questions in 30 seconds we will take them.

I am grateful to the other party leaders for raising the delayed diagnosis scandal in Kerry. I am sorry for the four families, but they do not want our sympathies. What they want is action. Yesterday I raised the issue of a lady who had a smear test in June. In November she was told it could not be read. Delays of this type have led to disastrous circumstances where people have lost their lives through misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis. Surely the Government will have to bring the HSE to book on this matter. It cannot be allowed to continue.

Page 48 of the programme for Government concerns rural post offices. Athea post office in County Limerick serves 400 to 500 people. It is approximately 13 km from the nearest post office. I would like to propose a solution. I have asked the Government to impress on An Post that a post-and-pay point should be established as well as a post point. This could provide international mail and weight mail services, as opposed to just TV licences and stamps. This is a solution that could be brought forward for any post offices that are in this kind of halfway house, post offices which are quite commercially viable. I ask the appropriate Minister to put pressure on An Post in regard to this.

As the Tánaiste and many others in this House well know, legacy issues from the Northern Ireland Troubles continue to impact on many families. I refer not only to the Dublin-Monaghan or Dundalk bombings, but also to many individual cases that have had an impact both North and South. It is an issue that persistently comes up in the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement and through the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly. There is huge frustration among the affected families with the lack of response, particularly from the British, and the lack of progress in finding solutions to this issue. I want to ask the Tánaiste, genuinely, if any progress is being made and when we can see some success in giving these people hope of closure on their issues.

Deputy Michael Healy-Rae raised the issues in County Kerry which are the subject of a report published this week. The report raised very serious questions to which we need to respond comprehensively, and that is now being done.

Deputy Neville put forward a proposal to address a concern relating to a local post office in west County Limerick. I will ensure that the Minister, Deputy Bruton, is made aware of his suggestion.

Deputy Breathnach is absolutely right that legacy is a huge part of reconciliation in the context of the work we all need to do in Northern Ireland between communities and families. There has been a reasonably successful public consultation process on legacy and the implementation of new legacy structures that have been agreed between the two Governments. That will require legislation in Westminster which will not be introduced until well into next year. We continue to raise the issues of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings with the British Government in regard to releasing information that has not yet been made available. We will work in partnership with the British Government, particularly Ms Karen Bradley and her office, to ensure that the consultation that has taken place with all political parties in Northern Ireland and with many victims' groups is reflected in new proposals, whether through legislation in Westminster or new legislation that the Government will introduce in this House to ensure that we play our part in future legacy inquests.
