Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It clarifies the issue. I will pursue it. I do not think that should happen. I think we need certainty. If we are putting something into a capital programme in 2025, it should be in there in 2026 if it has not been progressed. I will pursue that with the Minister and with the HSE. Roscommon has proven itself to be a very good hospital for services. I remember the row we had back in 2016 on the emergency department. If we are all honest, once that row was dispensed with, the hospital got on with a whole load of services that have proven of real value to the people of the area and this clearly would be another.
I thank Deputy Cullinane for welcoming the €50 million for the surgical hub. He followed that up with a list of about four other projects that need to be completed as well.
