Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I welcome that the Deputy acknowledged the Government funding for Clonakilty Community Hospital. It is not a normal pattern of political behaviour on his part to acknowledge Government funding where it happens. I welcome that Government funding has enabled what we both agree is a fantastic service and facility for the people of Clonakilty agus an dúiche mórthimpeall.

The children's hospital is potentially for every child in Ireland and it is certainly for children in west Cork who need access to specialist treatment.
