Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I am absolutely shocked that the Minister of State should fall to this level. I am here solely to speak on behalf of the people of Monaghan. I try to work with the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, and do not engage in political cheap shots. I still wish to work with him if there is any hope of saving the hospital and, in so doing, saving lives. The Minister of State is obviously not interested.
