I agree that we need to bring them in and see the reports on which the HSE has made a decision. The committee and the community itself have long tried to get a reason why the hospital was closed and have failed to get it. The Senator asked about fundraising. I know from being in the constituency, and Deputy Cahill would agree with me, the amount of fundraising that has taken place down through the years in the north Tipperary, south Kilkenny and Waterford area to put different doors and every kind of a thing you would wish for into that hospital. That has all been collected locally.

For that reason alone the witnesses deserve the answers to the questions they are asking.
