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

I did not want to embarrass the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Recently, I told him that many Ministers for Health of all persuasions played roles while I campaigned for Tallaght Hospital over many years. Many stones were left sticking out of different parts of the hospital site, but the only stone to survive is the one bearing the name Brendan Howlin. It is an interesting piece of Tallaght history. I do not need to tell the Minister how proud I am.
