Kenmare Hospital Print E-mail
I support my colleague Senator Leyden in his call to bring the Minister for Health and Children to the House to discuss the Health Service Executive and waste therein. This is prevalent in my county of Kerry where we have had numerous reports on the Kenmare hospital. Thousands of euro were spent and plans were drawn up more than 33 years ago. Deputy Jackie Healy-Rae got a deal in 1997. He got another deal in 2007 that the hospital would be built and extended.

I thank Senator Buttimer for the contribution. We have no hospital and no completion date. I applaud Deputy Michael Lowry.

 

Deputy Michael Lowry has managed to secure a similar deal for Tipperary North, which has completed, in Borrisokane, phase one of its hospital. Phase two is due for completion in 2013. Yet in Kenmare, Deputy Healy-Rae is not being treated with equity by the Minister for Health and Children and, unfortunately, by the Government.

 

There is no completion date for the hospital in Kenmare and, indeed, no start date. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Health and Children to come to the House to discuss that issue.
