They are not making much of a difference. The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, read out to me nothing short of a diatribe on Carrick-on-Suir hospital. She should be ashamed to close it in her backyard and tell me this and that are going on. The Minister has a fine big empty monstrosity of a white elephant for a primary care centre while that is going on. He should not be trying to cover his tracks in closing a very good hospital. It is shocking.
