Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Cystic Fibrosis Unit: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Gerry O'Dwyer:

To further answer Deputy Ó Caoláin, it is important to note that we are also working with the other centres. In Cork, for example, they deal with adults and children. Professor Gallagher has been down there. Likewise, in Limerick and Galway they are also dealing with children and adults. They, in turn, have links with some of the other regional hospitals. Professor Gallagher and Ms Godfrey have made a number of visits and the discussions are ongoing. In addition, refurbishment arrangements are taking place in those areas also.
