Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Paul Connaughton: In my constituency in Galway, €1.4 million was spent on Toghermore House, a mental health facility, within the last two to three years. There is now an issue and the section may be closed.

- Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 May 2013)
