Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It is a case of déjà vuand another day another story in the Irish Examinerabout the elective hospital in Cork. It is being rolled out every couple of weeks. It is a bit self-indulgent of the many people who keep recycling the same garbage over and over again in the press. We all know the reasons we need the elective hospital. We know the importance of an elective hospital not only in Cork but also in Galway and Limerick. Can we get a specific timeline so that we can bring to an end all of the rumour, innuendo and suggestion? Can we get a timeline as to when the decision will be announced?
