Jackie Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the delay in providing funding for Kenmare Community Hospital to allow the construction of the 14-bed extension. Funding for this hospital needs to be prioritised. Currently, there are 23 beds for continuing care, respite and convalescent purposes but, given the continued growth of Kenmare and its surrounding areas, it is vital that this extension proceeds immediately.
