Sorry, before Mr. Ruane comes in, this concerns the making of a vital decision that affects three counties and an awful lot of people. Surely a decision should be taken on expert advice and not just opinion. To let people know as well, movement was mentioned but the unit at Clogheen is 45 km from Carrick-on-Suir and 61 km from Tipperary town. We do not even have a bus service going from Cashel to Clonmel, never mind from Carrick-on-Suir to Clogheen and those places. The community was not even taken into consideration here because of opinions. This is what we are trying to get at. Surely any decisions being taken by the HSE, or something like that, should be based on reports or work done. Are there such reports and, if so, can we get copies?
