Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Deputy Cairns raised the issue of the Defence Forces and I answered on the Defence Forces. She said that it was all talk on this side of the House. I made a response, which I am entitled to make, that it is not all talk. I acknowledged that every Member in the House has a shared objective and I outlined what the Government is doing in response to the Deputy's assertions that it is doing nothing. That is a fair response.
On regulation and the Dental Council, a dentist convicted of sexual assault cannot continue in dental practice.
