Niall Collins (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

——additional hospital consultants. It is equally important to point out that Cathal O'Donnell and Paul Burke have a shared responsibility for the region, not only for the accident and emergency department in my local hospital, namely, the regional hospital.

For Limerick Regional Hospital and its accident and emergency department, I welcome the fact that this initiative will deliver a new emergency operating theatre, an expanded ambulance service and a critical care block that will bring in up to 40 beds when it is built. I am sure this will be delivered.
