Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----Dingle 2 or whatever he wants to talk about. My first duty is to the people and the country, not to any individual location in the country. I made it perfectly clear that the evidence and advice from the independent health regulator, with whose findings the Deputy seems to want to interfere in respect of its findings, demonstrate beyond "yea" or "nay" that the situation in Roscommon is unsafe. I cannot accept that we should continue with such a situation. At a meeting between HIQA, the HSE, the Minister for Health and local representatives, this matter was discussed quite clearly. The decision to effect change and to reconfigure and redesign the services for the people of Roscommon was entered into.
