Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of a project of that size and as a Deputy in Limerick, where this issue is of paramount importance, there will be an empty shell of a building until November.

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: My final question pertains to the chief executive officer of the hospital network, who I understand is leaving. What contract was in place, for how long was it and when was Mr. O'Brien aware the chief executive officer was leaving? I ask because obviously it is a period of great change.

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: In that case, I will conclude by asking whether the mid-west, that is, University Hospital Limerick and the networks, retains the priority for the HSE at a corporate level that it always has had in respect of funding. Is there an issue with funding for the accident and emergency unit that is to be built? Is this the reason for the delay in the building and fit-out of the accident and...
