That would be important.

To conclude, I take the opportunity to commend Mr. Healy's predecessor, Martin Dunne. I worked with him previously in relation to west Roscommon. I went to him to flag the ambulance black spot that was there and to make the service 24-7. At the time, it was impossible, but he went away, did a report, looked at the figures and made it 24-7. I commend him because it has made a huge difference in a very rural part of my county. While I have the opportunity, I want to put that on the record.
