The Government's promise in the programme for Government of an end-of-life hospice unit in Drogheda was welcomed, as were the allocation of €1 million and the identification of a site at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. The people of Drogheda have been waiting for developments since then and I have been waiting ten weeks for a reply from the Minister for Health setting out the progress to date. Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister to send me that reply urgently, given that we need significant progress on the site?
