There is a proposal to close the Teach de hÍde located at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Roscommon. It caters for clients with mental health issues who are collected every day and brought to the centre, which is nice and homely. It is suggested that the service be located at a primary care centre, which does not have the facilities for the people who need the service.

I congratulate all those who ran for election to the European Parliament. I will be very sorry if circumstances do not turn out well for Pat “the Cope” Gallagher. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan has delivered a great reward for Roscommon in being elected. Nothing concentrates the minds of politicians and governments more than a by-election. I would not recommend that Fine Gael put up a candidate but I hope it does.
