Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

When I spoke the other night to the members of the group from Monaghan, who were very responsible and put their case to me even though the tragedy had happened hours earlier, they told me that to have the additional facility, they would need two extra nurses as they had the infrastructure and the medical personnel. We spent €12.4 billion, so I do not think it is a question of resources.
