I have lost count of the number of times my colleagues and I have raised the issue of the national maternity hospital. Specifically, what progress has been made in acquiring the site and taking it into public ownership so that a national public hospital can be built on a site owned by the public? We have passed three motions. On the last occasion, the Taoiseach said that motions do not build hospitals. When motions are unanimously accepted in Dáil Éireann, as these motions have been, they tell the Taoiseach what the Dáil wants. In that context, what progress has been made to acquire the site?
