Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There has been a lot of debate since the allocation of the NDP as to whether the elective hospital was funded. My instructions from the Minister are, thankfully, to proceed as quickly as possible to design and planning and bring it to being shovel ready. The Minister will secure the funding. This is the plan and Cork is in the plan. Deputy McGrath knows the site configuration issues with regard to Sarsfield, Glanmire and other issues.
