Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

What has this Government of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party got against the people of Kerry? For a number of weeks the ophthalmology unit in Tralee general hospital has been closed. There are over 800 people waiting on different lists to be seen in the eye unit in Tralee. It has been there since the foundation of the State and it is closed down now. We are doing our best to take what we can of the people to the North of Ireland and it is an awful long journey. There are other things that happen to people, when something goes into their eye when they are working, and there is no place for them to go. I am asking when the Government will reopen it.
