I always seek a debate. Is the Cathaoirleach on for one? I have recently been informed about what happened with a post considered to be an extraordinarily sought after position. The post should have had Irish graduates lining up, dusting off their curricula vitae and promoting the fact that they had training in America, Boston, London or wherever. It should have enticed them to come back but no Irish graduate applied for the post. That shows we desperately need to take a serious look at the issues. They are interrelated and come down to one core issue - the management, structure and financing of the health service, which is not something that can be administratively adjusted.
