Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

-----it means that as the European Union directive will no longer apply to Britain, we have to do a separate agreement with Britain in relation to that.
The Deputy has not paid for any one of these cataract operations. The taxpayer pays for them. Let us all be clear about that. Anybody in this country is entitled to utilise the directive in any EU member state right now. Some Deputies can assist people to get on buses and hire buses and so on but it is the taxpayer who pays for it.
