I thought that is what happened as well. During the week, I mentioned Monaghan hospital’s need for emergency services to the Taoiseach. He told me that you cannot just go and do that, that there is a route to doing that, which involves putting a business case or whatever else forward. It worried me and I thought of other major projects that are happening. The Minister of State, Deputy Harkin, stated in the Dáil one day that a surgical hub will be put in place in Sligo hospital. Was a business case put in place for that?
