Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

The future is more important than the past in terms of the work that has been done. If there is no future for the work we have put in, we will not see it as a success. The former Minister gave us the go ahead to do initial assessment work, but we need momentum and energy to ensure a decision is made to go live with this. I am not saying initial work is not going on, but there is not enough energy or momentum behind this to deal with the critical future of health in the Cork region. That is my position and what I believe is necessary. Our group has finished its work and produced its report. I see this as very much the last event for it.
