Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

On a point of order, I will not labour this point but the clinical nurse manager the Minister spoke so highly of in Lourdes hospital, writing during the general election campaign, said they could not continue with the way the situation was being funded in the Lourdes hospital, which is a regional service. The Government is responsible for that. It is a disgrace and a shame and we will not let the Minister off the hook on this issue. She will not get away with it.
