I want to deal with an issue that was raised in the presentation made by the previous group of witnesses. They expressed the view that the Minister should intervene and locate the hospital the Connolly Hospital site. The last paragraph reads: "If the Minister fails to do so he should know with certainty that he will be responsible for the deaths of many children and the avoidable anguish of countless parents." It has been implied in the submission that the location at St. James's Hospital will cause deaths. It is a serious suggestion that needs a response.
