I will turn to emergency cases. I was recently obliged to deal with a case involving a child from my constituency who was in hospital in Dublin. The cost of transportation and daily visits was imposing severe financial hardship on the family. Does the office have a fast-track system in place to deal with what might fall under the general umbrella of emergency cases?
