Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

If one pushes thousands of accident and emergency cases on to St. Vincent's Hospital, which already is in chaos, there will be more chaos, suffering and lives lost. I appeal to the Minister to do in his review what the people of south County Wicklow and Loughlinstown want, which is to retain the 24-hour accident and emergency service in Loughlinstown hospital and if safety issues exist there, to put the requisite resources into it.
