Ms Noeleen Moran:

This is a question that gets asked of us all the time. If there was an offer of an emergency department on the table, that is something we can discuss and flesh out in more detail. Our campaigns are united. We are three different community campaigns, from Limerick, from Tipperary and County Clare. All of us know that if is were a model 3 hospital put in any one area of this region, it will benefit us all. We are united. We will all fight for our own areas and our own turf. Obviously, me being from Clare I will be shouting for Ennis, Ms Delaney will be shouting for Tipperary and the Limerick campaign will be shouting for St. John's but we know it will benefit all areas to at least have one additional emergency department Do not forget that there were three there to begin with and we are only asking that the Government put back what was already there.
