Manus Boyle (Fine Gael)

I raise an issue I also raised several weeks ago, which is benefit-in-kind for the National Ambulance Service. I spoke to the Minister for Health, Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, about it. She told me it comes under the remit of the Minister for Finance and involves the Revenue Commissioners. That was nearly a month ago. Will the Leader give me an update from Revenue on where the issue is at? It is a vital issue for people in rural County Donegal, which he will appreciate coming from rural county himself. These people turn out at a moment's notice to help and try to save lives. For me this is non-issue. It should not even be spoken about. We need people in rural communities to know there is support for them and that they are being looked after. I urge the Leader to try to get in contact with the Minister and update us on what is going on and see whether we can get it over the line. People's lives depend on it. As the Leader knows, coming from a rural area, it is the phone call we do not want to get. These are the people who turn up first. By having the vehicles at home at their houses, they can get to calls quicker.
