A happy memory I have is the first election count at which I was elected. It took place in the RCSI. It was not my first time in that institution but it is certainly a place I remember positively.

As with all of our universities where there is a faculty of medicine, let us also hope that we are not just producing good doctors for export, as per an earlier debate in this House today. We badly need more doctors and specialists of various kinds. While I fully commend the important work the RCSI has been doing in producing doctors for home and abroad, let us continue to hope and work for better access to people with the speciality training we need in this country.
