I agree with Senator Norris. I do not think it is an abuse of position for a photograph to be taken of Oireachtas Members in support of this referendum. All Oireachtas Members should be showing leadership on this very important issue. It affects a very small number of people but we are trying to effect an important change to the Constitution and it is important the maximum number of people vote "Yes" on 10 November.

The Minister for Health has been frustrated on the issue of the new children's hospital for the past six months and I understand that a decision will be made in the next two weeks.

Is the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade not making that decision now?

It is important that once the decision is taken, every step is put in place immediately to expedite the planning process and the development and completion of the project. It is important that the Minister comes to the House at the earliest date once a decision is taken to set out how his Department proposes to deal with expediting the construction and development of the project because it is vital for the children of this country and it is vital that it is dealt with as soon as possible.
