It is approximately 20 years since a Minister for Health visited the hospital. Barry Desmond was the last Minister to go there, prior to Deputy Martin's recent visit. Deputy Martin's visit was arranged after it became well known that President McAleese was going to visit the institution. The Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform also visited the hospital. The Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy O'Malley, promised me in a debate on psychiatric services that he would visit it and he was as good as his word.
