I would welcome that. The obvious follow-on question is whether there are similar plans to increase the capacity of the model 2 hospitals in Ennis, St. John's in Limerick and Nenagh hospital. I ask that in the specific context of Limerick being the most consistently overcrowded hospital in the State. If we are going to continue to channel the vast majority of patients from the mid-west region into the most overcrowded hospital during the Covid-19 crisis, that is a catastrophe waiting to happen and the clock is ticking.
