It is something that needs to be examined. While I thank Mr. O'Brien for dealing with the issue in Limerick, three weeks is a wholly unacceptable length of time to wait for an inspection. I ask him to examine it again, speak to the clinical lead in that area and ensure it is speedily addressed and that the people in Limerick will have a 24 hour cath lab-cardiology service up and running like the service in Galway and have parity of esteem with immediate effect. I thank Mr. O'Brien for the good exchange. This is about taxpayers' money. I have no doubt we are both on this same side on this issue.
