Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I would simply say that generally speaking, acquiring new sites is a good thing for the health service because it allows us to build modern, custom-built facilities. Normally, the HSE deals with the local authority to work out the planning and zoning context. That is what normally happens and what normally should happen. If, from the HSE's perspective, the purchasing of the new site is the key to unlocking the building of a new facility, then it should go ahead with that but I will talk to the HSE about the Deputy's misgivings.
