Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Jimmy Devins was my colleague on the Joint Committee on Health and Children and I am glad he is now taking such an interest in the area. I applaud his appointment and that of Deputy Máire Hoctor who, by the way, has visited Tallaght at least twice since she was appointed. I hope other Ministers of State visit the area.

Deputy James Reilly referred to almost every hospital in the country except Tallaght Hospital, which gives me the opportunity to refer to Tallaght.
