I welcome the clarification because there is a lot of anxiety in Donegal about it. As the Taoiseach will know, all Government and Opposition representatives in Donegal are making the case because we are really concerned that there is a threat to our emergency services. It is a genuine threat because of the crisis in surgical services. I agree with what the Taoiseach said about the cross-Border dimension. The north west cancer centre in Altnagelvin was a really good news story. Treatment for cancer patients across the region were co-funded by both. I agree with the Taoiseach on that and welcome his comments.
