I would like politicians to ask how many hospitals we need in the country. How many more times do we have to hear the argument as to whether the hospital should be in Cavan or Monaghan? It is a serious issue when a health board cannot make up its mind on one hospital. It is not that the board cannot decide; it will not do so because there is political fallout from making such a decision. It has nothing to do with the health needs of Cavan and Monaghan, but is rather a case of who will be closer to the hospital.
