Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy knows this is the system that works. We will wait on this matter. The Deputy knows that €4.4 million has been spent in upgrading parts of the hospital. Some of the facilities are available and ready to open, which I hope happens. Other developments are taking place in some of the wards concerned. However, they are separate issues that are being dealt with by the HSE and I hope they will be resolved.
