Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The project was announced in 2013. Yes, ownership is a key issue but I do not believe in any shape or form that the governance will be influenced by any religious organisation. Those who have been involved with that aspect of the project have been very clear about that. We would not tolerate it. All services legally provided in the State will be facilitated in this new hospital. However, I do have an issue. When the State invests, the State should own it from then onwards but that is not where we have arrived at.
