Portlaoise was in the news again this morning following the publication of the report on a tragic incident that occurred six years ago. Our thoughts should be with the two parents in question as well as other parents. The concentration on Portlaoise and the midlands area must be continued. It will include the ambulance service.

The Senator is right to raise this issue, as additional investment is required. With the economy improving, I hope that this investment will be made available.
