James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I ask the Minister to give an undertaking, as was given on page 177, chapter 17, of his document, A Vision for Change, that the moneys released will be ring-fenced and that we will not have a situation where the money goes elsewhere and where there are, in St. Ita's in north Dublin because there is no psychiatric admission unit in Beaumont Hospital, 24 patients in a unit with one single room while 23 acutely psychotic patients must lie with 3 ft. between their beds. It is a disgrace.
