James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

To deal with Deputy Eric Byrne's concerns about a tri-located hospital, of course, this would be the ideal and many would agree with him. Having a maternity hospital co-located with an adult and a paediatric hospital would make sense and the Mater Hospital site allowed have allowed for this to happen. However, I want to make it clear that everything is on the table.

I am a little bemused by Deputy Charlie McConalogue complaining that one year on we have not delivered when the Governments led by his party had 14 years to deliver and left the country in a mess.
