Pat, thanks for the endorsement in Santry that the health service has to be about delivery not ideology first and foremost in Feb ’04, not that it helped me in the locals or that I can forget the dagger eyes from Sinead Seery. What the hey though!

I was wondering if we will see progress on ensuring equality in terms of treatment through a national insurance system whereby the state pays the insurance of those who can’t afford it but where there is competition in the health ass/insurance industry and in terms of providers. Something similar was in both the Labour and FG manifestos last time.

Also, any chance of some Labours transfers for a Seanad seat?

Earlier this month Pat complained that the Dáil parliamentary year is 55 sitting days shorter than the one at Westminster. Does he believe the sovereign Irish people should do everything the same way as Her Majesty’s parliament in London does?

What exactly will Labour do to reduce inflation.
Is he in favour of legalising soft drugs.
Does he stand by his 40 million poles comment.
Does he support free trade for third world countries and the removal of CAP.
