Martin Browne: If Mr. Ruane is making those decisions, surely there should be costings done to see if it is viable and cheaper to do up St. Brigid's or any building rather than go to a greenfield site and build new. Coming back to what Deputy Mattie McGrath says about planning, if anybody in this room went out tomorrow and tried to get planning permission on a floodplain, he or she would be turned down....

- Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)
Martin Browne: We have heard about Clogheen again and Senator Murphy brought it up. As I said, Clogheen is 45 km from Carrick-on-Suir and Tipperary town is 61 km from Carrick-on-Suir. We are not like the big urban areas or cities where a person can jump on a bus or Luas tram. That creates problems. As Senator Craughwell said, we all have people who have received palliative care and it takes a few...

Everything is just opinion. As I said earlier, I could have an...
