I join the other Members of this House who have spoken about the sale of Aer Lingus. I travel around Europe, like most of us, and arriving in new cities, one sees tram systems. What did we do with the tram system in Dublin? We pulled it apart about 100 years ago and now we are paying a fortune to put it back together. I look at Irish shipping which was mentioned yesterday and it is destroyed; it is gone. I look at Aer Lingus now. The media are full of stories this morning about conflicts of interest for senior members of the board of Aer Lingus who were advising the country and the Government. There seem to be conflicts of interest in the financial institutions that are advising the country and the Government. It is an extremely serious issue. To go back to what Senator Darragh O'Brien said, we robbed the poor unfortunate pensioners who gave their lives to build the company. We took their pensions off them and now we are going to hand over approximately €560 million to IAG. We must get real about where we are going. I know that Members on the other side of the House feel exactly the same way as I do. We need a debate in this House on Aer Lingus and need it tomorrow. I second Senator Darragh O'Brien's call for such a debate.

I also want to speak about the issue of humanity in the health service. I visited a neighbour last night who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. He told me there were a number of forms of the disease. This man was at the top of his profession, one of the most competent men I know, who worked for several multinationals. Six weeks ago, he was diagnosed. Three weeks ago, he was told he needed further tests-----

The Senator has about two seconds.
