James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Once again, I take the opportunity to raise a constituency matter with the Minister. It relates to Youghal, County Cork, my home town and new capital developments there. I am really delighted with the progress that has been made under the HSE capital development plan. I worked very hard with the Minister and Minister of State, Deputy Butler, on delivering a new community nursing unit and a new primary care centre in the town. However, is there is an opportunity to deliver a new ambulance training college in Youghal at St. Raphael's or another location in the town. The Minister knows this project is important to me, the town and the people I represent. Youghal desperately needs government investment. The training facility is a key one that could bring employment and it is much needed in a community that both wants it and desperately needs it.
