Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent importance: the crisis in the accident and emergency department at Kerry General Hospital, Tralee, which is now the most understaffed accident and emergency department in the country; and the urgency for funding to be allocated to provide a new accident and emergency unit in Tralee to replace the existing unit, which will be expected to deal with 30,000 patients in 2005.
