I ask Mr. O'Brien to furnish a report to Deputy O'Donnell. I will continue with the Limerick group and perhaps will ask a more general question of Dr. McLoughlin. Were Mr. O'Brien to decide, for example, that an assistant is needed in the aforementioned hospital group, who would clear that decision? Is it Dr. McLoughlin or is it Mr. O'Brien? Who has the authority in that regard?
