Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The logic of this is that the co-location proposition does not stand, on the basis of the current practice. I am sure I am not unique among Deputies here and I am sure it affects the Taoiseach in his constituency. A significant volume of people present on a continuum who are concerned for family members who cannot get access to procedures. These people have presented on dates given to them for specific procedures to be performed but have been sent home because a bed could not be secured. That has happened in hospitals here in Dublin. It happened to at least two people from my constituency last week.
