Co-location of Hospitals: Motion. (26 Jun 2007)

Brian Hayes: I pay tribute to Fine Gael's former health spokesman, Dr. Liam Twomey, who unfortunately lost his seat in the recent election.

Brian Hayes: I would like to be associated with the Minister's kind remarks in wishing the Leas-Cheann Comhairle well and to assure him that we, on this side of the House, will support him in his difficult task.
