Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of urgent concern, namely, the unacceptable fact that cutbacks in health services at Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, are forcing patients to travel to Newry in County Down to avail of basic services, such as accident and emergency treatment; the necessity to address this situation as a matter of urgency and the need for the Minister for Health and Children to explain how she proposes to do so. She is not having much success so far.
