Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

With three of the country's four sexual assault treatment units, at the Rotunda, Waterford Regional Hospital, and Letterkenny General Hospital, at risk of closure, can the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources advise what mechanism the former Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin, employed to ensure funding for the Cork centre? Is legislation required to provide for State funding for each of the other three that I have named and the inclusion of a new network of sexual assault treatment units at other centres in Galway, the midlands and the north-east region?
