James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I welcome those words because there is a lot of anger and frustration even though many facilities have been put in Wexford by the previous Fianna Fáil Government and the previous Fine Gael-Labour Party Government. I appreciate the Minister of State's intentions. However, an emergency department is desperately needed down in Wexford. While the Minister of State cannot answer for the Department of Education and Skills, I ask that the Department of Health and the HSE are open to convincing the Department of Education and Skills to purchase the property for use as a second or third level education facility. It would be fitting for the town of Enniscorthy and the county of Wexford that the building would remain in public use for the further benefit of the local community.
