Committee on Public Petitions
Closure of Vital Health Services: Discussion
Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
The point I am making is that Ms Curtis is correct. Somebody has to take responsibility for messing up - I am being polite with the phrase "messing up" - and reverse these decisions, and if something is broken, fix it, and if one cannot fix it, replace it. That is only the structure. One should not remove vital services from the communities because that is where the heartbeat of the community is. When it is community-led, it is trusted and supported. Public money goes into those places and they did not give a damn.
