I call for an amendment to the Order of Business, that the Seanad would call the Minister for Health to the House to debate SI 325 of 2012, which he signed in August last year, relating to organ transplantation. If this statutory instrument and the associated legislation enacted on 28 August had been done correctly more lives would have been saved. I call on the Leader to facilitate a debate in this regard.

I also call on the Leader to facilitate a debate in respect of the ambulance service. As the leader on this side of the House pointed out yesterday, the ambulance service is in a shambles at present and 200,000 people were left without an ambulance in Dublin yesterday. We have seen numerous incidents of ambulances arrive to the wrong location.

I referred to the name of a person last week. I will not do so this week, but I know the Cathaoirleach received a strongly-worded letter from him seeking an apology. I wish to clarify that I do not mean to disparage anyone personally, but if someone is not doing his job and if, as a result of the job being done ineffectively, we have a dysfunctional ambulance service, then it must be highlighted. That is what we are supposed to do in the House. We were told, and the people of west Cork were told-----

Senator, you cannot name someone.

I did not name anyone.

Senator, you did name someone and I am asking you to withdraw it.

I did last week, but I did not name him today.

Senator, you named a person on the record of the House some days ago.

That was last week.

I got a letter from that person, as you did yourself.

I have the letter here.

I am asking you to withdraw what you said.

I am saying clearly that if he took offence to anything I said of a personal nature, I withdraw it. However, I am not withdrawing the criticism of him in his role as the head of the ambulance service. We brought it up yesterday.

Senator, I want you to withdraw any personal remarks your made in respect of any person who is not here to defend himself.

I am withdrawing personal remarks, if he took any offence at anything I said of a personal nature. However, I am standing over anything I say in respect of him in his professional capacity.

You should not be naming any person who is not here.

That is why I am asking the Minister for Health to come to the House because he is this person's boss. He is in charge of the ambulance service and he appointed the person in charge. I am calling for a debate on that matter.

I am aware that my colleagues in Sinn Féin produced a similar Bill to the one I introduced in 2011. It related to a Law Reform Commission proposal in 2005 for a Corporate Manslaughter Bill and it still has not been enacted, although it was proposed long ago.

Senator, your are way over time.

Any one who is in management-----

Members of the House enjoy privilege but it should not be abused.

-----who knew or ought to have reasonably known of a substantial risk of personal harm-----

Senator, your are way over time.

The proposal is very important considering the state of the ambulance service at the moment. If that legislation had been enacted we might have a more effective ambulance service.
