Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

During my period in public life, I have continued to campaign strongly with colleagues from all parties for proper facilities throughout that region and not only in our hospital. We all campaigned in Tallaght to ensure that the Adelaide, Meath and National Children's Hospitals came to Tallaght, which they did in June 1998. There are other facilities there also, however. I sometimes invite people to come to Tallaght and I would be happy to show colleagues around. Now that the Luas is there it is easy to access.
