I would certainly love to see the hospital named after a strong, professional, capable woman. That would be wonderful. We have so many things named after men in every walk of life. I do not pretend to be qualified enough or to know enough to be able to assess Dr. Lynn's position in this relative to the other medics who might be in contention. When the hospital is opened I would love to see it named after a strong woman.

It seems to me, however, that when the Deputy asks a question regarding the process he should be given an answer on whether it has started, if there are plans to start it and when that will be. There is a campaign on this and the very least the State should do is to provide an answer, even if that means saying this is not being done yet but will be done on 1 March, or whenever. That would at least provide some clarity and an answer. The answer I was given for reply to the Deputy in the House was not adequate. The least people can do is provide clarity.
