Impact of Covid-19 Restrictions: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-16
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I ask the Government to give us back our wonderful St. Brigid's hospital and to give us access to our hospice beds where families got excellent palliative care. We have a lift in the building and we have showers in the building. It is not Dickensian. It is no older than Clonmel hospital and many other district hospitals in the country. The Government should give it back to us. I thank Deputies for speaking to the motion and supporting it. I am disappointed that the Government's amendment is only waffle, as usual. We are pressing the motion to a vote.
