Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to contribute.

To be fair to the Irish people, they are still very active in donating blood. This astonishes me in light of my having had some dealings with the Irish Blood Transfusion Service and in the knowledge that its history is not great. The latest episode involving the service is probably very minor by comparison with what happened in the past. When will the Irish Blood Transfusion Service build the second unit in Cork, as recommended?
