Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the following matter of urgent national importance, namely, that all oncology services in the north east, and at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda in particular, remain in place until centres of excellence are fully functioning so that the 1,000 patients attending Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital weekly can avail of a reasonable level of service rather than having patients who are very ill, and in many cases dying, being forced into already overcrowded wards in Beaumont and the Mater hospitals in Dublin. I hope the Ceann Comhairle will allow a debate on this important issue.
