Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Yes. I think Deputy Cahill and others have been advocating on it, but Deputy McGrath is correct in quoting me and can rest assured that I have approached the Minister for Health and the HSE on this and we are pushing issues of additional capacity. I commend the staff in Clonmel. I was given a wonderful tour there. The staff have displayed great enthusiasm and teamwork in the midst of the pandemic and in the context of the extension we are opening and the additional facilities that have been already invested in in the form of the modular building, which has transformed the hospital, to be fair, but more work is needed now. I particularly enjoyed the visit to the paediatric ward. I got a very good presentation on the issue-----
