Can the canteen issue be re-examined? It is a small matter that could make a major difference.

A problem exists within the HSE. Some in the HSE are claiming that the application went in before the final announcement, which makes no sense. Even in the Minister of State's reply it was stated that a whole hospital brief was prepared in 2003. This is an issue that should be examined, as somebody with close connections to the Waterford Regional Hospital has not moved on from that role and should remember he has a brief for the whole south east. The Tánaiste may be aware of this already.
