Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Lorgaim cead chun an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun ghné rí-thábhachtach náisiúnta a phlé, sé sin, the proposal by the HSE and the management of Cherry Orchard Hospital, Dublin, to close down the newly refurbished Beech House containing 25 community beds and to sub-contract a private operator to take ten public patients at a greater cost to the public purse than keeping the facility open; the need for the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney and Professor Brendan Drumm to resign immediately for gross incompetence in running the HSE; and for the cuts in community beds at Cherry Orchard Hospital to be reversed and the service enhanced to cater for public demand.
