I support my colleague, Senator Darragh O'Brien, and second his amendment to the Order of Business to bring the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar, who one would swear was not the Minister for Health and merely worked as a commentator condemning actions in his own Department, allowing his response to be dictated by Beaumont Hospital and then wondering why the issue was not brought up yesterday. If it had been brought up yesterday, it would have been ruled out of order because it was not related to the Bill under discussion. Not only does the Minister not know what is going on in his own Department, but Leo, the commentator, does not know how the Seanad works.

The Senator should call him "Minister".
