Seanad debates

I cannot finish without mentioning a hospital within a stone's throw of this House – Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin. If ever there was a monument to departmental neglect, this hospital is it. Members should visit it to see this. I have had reason to be involved with it for a long time and know that were it not for the parents and the personalities, sports and otherwise, who fund-raise to keep the paint on the walls and the basics in place, any Minister who survived the Celtic tiger's lifetime while neglecting to fund it should consider his position and disappear as a matter of urgency. There has never been a place in Ireland which has been neglected as it has. That is a shame.
