Senator Boyhan has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Health on the need to reopen 12 beds at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire in order that the hospital can operate at full capacity be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

I listened to the Leader, but I do not believe in having a sideshow with the Minister downstairs. That is not how we do our business. This is the Chamber and where we debate. This is where we hold people to account. Therefore, I would be happy to withdraw the amendment on the basis of a commitment that the responsible Minister would attend the House on Tuesday and time would be set aside to question him and get a full explanation of what is happening at the National Rehabilitation Hospital. Nothing less will do. Will the Leader agree to that?

To be fair, the Minister is willing to engage one-to-one with the Senator on that matter. My office will have to check with the Minister's office about his availability for Tuesday, but I am happy to try to do that.

I cannot allow a debate on this issue again.

Okay. I will withdraw the amendment on that basis. I thank the Minister for his offer, but I would like to have the issue back on the agenda on Tuesday.

I will see what I can do.
