The Senator will be aware that it is only the leaders who are allowed raise two items.

One of the issues that the Minister addressed last night was that Waterford and Kilkenny should work together. What I am asking is to do with my own area, Laois and Carlow. I ask that they get together and work on the services. The services are a significant issue. Whether it is through housing, medical services or hospitals, I ask the Minister to ensure that all the counties work together to deliver for those people.
