Ireland 2040 and health debate request
After brief interruptions about regional relocation and decentralisation, the Leader said the Ireland 2040 issue could be debated with the Minister. He concluded by confirming a request for the Minister for Health to come to the House on the RTÉ programme and its implications.
Some 300 people signed up to move to Mullingar.
Comment on this
The issue raised by the Senator is one that both he and Senator Gabrielle McFadden have raised previously in the House. I will be happy to have it discussed again. Ireland 2040 is of importance and I will be happy to have the Minister, Deputy Simon Coveney, come to the House to debate it.
I have issued a request for the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, to come to the House for a debate on the issues arising from the programme aired last night.
