Professor Charles Gallagher:

I totally support that. The Cork adult unit is the second largest in the country after our own. It has very efficient adult and paediatric units which work very closely together. The Cork unit has an application in for capital funding and has raised most of the funding itself through the Cystic Fibrosis Association and the related associations in Cork and Kerry. It has also sent an application for incremental funding to build this to the HSE that will get high priority. It is a high priority for us, as I mentioned previously, to have the best services for all of the CF community around Ireland.
