I want to convey to the Minister what happened in Sligo two and half weeks ago. A young girl - a healthy young woman - was out for a meal with her friends. She collapsed with excruciating pain in her head and was admitted to Sligo University Hospital at 8 p.m. Nothing happened until 8 o'clock the following morning. I do not know what happened there, quite honestly, but I ask that the Minister would investigate on behalf of her father, mother and sister as to what took place there. The young girl had to be transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, but sadly, not in time. On behalf of the parents, I ask the Minister please to investigate this situation so they can at least get some peace of mind as to what happened.
