Willie O'Dea (FF), Limerick City

Some 17 months have elapsed since HIQA was tasked with the objective of looking at the totally inadequate accident and emergency services in the mid-west, particularly in Limerick University Hospital, and making recommendations on what should be done. They informed us at the time that they would take a year to report, which we did not agree with but had to accept. Some 17 months have now elapsed. I have a reply from the Taoiseach dated 6 November 2024 confirming that the final report would be available in May 2025. We are nearly at the end of September 2025 and I am very anxious to know when that report will materialise. Is the Government committed to implementing the recommendations when it does?
