Luke Flanagan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent)

I congratulate the Minister on his appointment. With regard to configuration, in advance of the general election the people of Roscommon and south Leitrim were made promises on the future of Roscommon and Portiuncula hospitals. It was stated that services existing at the time of the election would be maintained and enhanced. Given that a few promises made to people in my constituency have been broken in recent days I wonder whether the Minister will stick by this one.
