I hope I will be pleasantly surprised by the Minister of State's reply when he will tell me, the people of County Carlow and the staff of the District Hospital who are working under very difficult circumstances that the hospital will finally get the money to proceed. Everything is ready to go. The plans are made and the land is available. I urge the Minister of State to tell the people of County Carlow when the Department of Health and Children will give them the money to which they are entitled under the NDP for this much needed ten bed extension.
