Under Standing Order 35(3), I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that the Minister for Health come before the Dáil to make a comprehensive statement and take questions on the case of nine-year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt, who died last July and who was in need of and belatedly received surgery but whom we now know was removed from the surgical wait list despite having being deemed fit for surgery.

We need answers and accountability from the Minister and from the Government on this matter.

Rip-off rents continue to spiral out of control on the watch of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. The latest daft.ie report shows new rents increased by 4% across the State in the past year. They are up by 6% in Galway and Limerick, 9% in the Taoiseach's city of Cork and 11% in Waterford. The Government sat back and allowed average new rents to hit a staggering €2,080 per month or €25,000 per year. While renters are fleeced, the Government provided no increase in the renter's tax credit in the budget. It is now pushing ahead with a Bill that will remove the one very limited protection afforded to renters and enable landlords to increase rip-off rents even more. If the Government cared at all about the pressure renters are under, it could not and would not go ahead with this disastrous plan.
