Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive
Martin Browne (Tipperary, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
From reading through the different documentation we have got since this petition was first submitted, what seems to be happening here is that the HSE is coming up with reasons to have closed this facility and making these fit the decision that was taken. This is rather than having done this the other way round, which would be doing everything properly, going through every channel and then deciding. It seems to be the case instead that the HSE is coming up with excuses to explain why it has put the cart before the horse.
Deputy Funchion is anxious to get away because she has another meeting, so I am going to let in other members. I call Deputy Funchion.
