Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

The Deputy has a very high standing in this House and has considerable experience on both sides of the House. He has rightly highlighted the issue of the lack of detail in the reply, and I agree with him on that. I have at my disposal a more detailed briefing note which I intend to hand to him at the end of this debate and which sets out the issues in Drogheda and the region. If there are specific issues around that, he might dialogue with the Minister for Health on them, which I hope will answer his questions more fully.
