Hospital Services
Seanad Éireann — 2025-04-30
============================================================

Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State. One can but hope. In regard to the report at the end of May, we cannot envisage what is going to be in that report. However, the Minister, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, visited the hospital on Good Friday on a spot check. It was busy, but that was a quiet busy. I hope that a new model 4 hospital will be delivered for the region. We only have one hospital and it is actually the busiest hospital in the whole country per capita . Hopefully, that is in the report. I thank the Minister of State for laying out the work that has been done to date. I am looking forward to much more work into the future in order that patients will have a safe experience and also the staff working there will be safe. They work under acute circumstances. They work really hard.
