Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Professor Keane has addressed all the political parties in recent months. He did not spare himself with anybody. I am sure the Fine Gael Party, the Labour Party, the Green Party, the Progressive Democrats, and whoever else met him were equally impressed with his presentation as we were when he addressed the Fianna Fáil Party.

Sligo will lose its assessment and surgical units but it will maintain its chemotherapy service. The plan that has been rolled out for Sligo is that we will have a Sligo clinic in Galway or if a Sligo patient opts not to go to Galway, he or she can choose to go to any of the four centres in Dublin. Sligo patients will have dedicated beds, a dedicated theatre and dedicated clinic times in Galway.
