I fully accept what Mr. Gloster is saying about staff. I agree that 99.99% of staff are dedicated and committed to the work that they are doing, but they are getting frustrated by not having the infrastructure. That is one of the problems that we now have in the Cork region. We have a significant growth in population but we have not had growth in hospital facilities in the last 23 years. I am wondering about the timescale for this so that we can deal with the demands.
