Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We are not in a position to determine that right now. I have been around long enough to know that in the health sector situations evolve and facilities rarely close. They are either redeployed or used for something else, or they are kept on as they are. Obviously the whole idea of the national children's hospital is to have the best and most appropriate care for children with particular conditions. All of these timelines have been BAM timelines. I resolutely refuse to become involved in an arbitration process that is ongoing, with a difficult contractual relationship between the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and BAM.
