We are all very familiar with the O'Higgins report on a cancer strategy. Professor O'Higgins promoted the idea of centres of excellence. Under the previous Government, which was also a Fianna Fáil-led administration, 13 such centres of excellence were set up. Three of these are based in Dublin; one in the Mater Hospital, one in St. Vincent's Hospital and one in St. James's Hospital; there are two in Cork and one each in Waterford, Portlaoise, Limerick, Galway, Drogheda and Letterkenny. These locations were chosen to provide optimal coverage throughout the country. Because of the nature of these centres, their staff is of the highest calibre. I take my hat off to the Minister for his decision in this regard.
