Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

I will answer it. On what has happened in Drogheda, Drogheda is following best international practice. When there is an outbreak of something like C. diff, one closes off a hospital to visitors if that is what is required to make the hospital safe. That is normal practice. It does not only happen in Ireland. If the Deputies read any international press, which I am sure they do from time to time-----
