Irish professionals for Cavan Hospital
Haughey sought an assurance that only Irish professionals would be employed on planning and construction. The Minister accepted his point but said the health board would select consultants and that he presumed it would act appropriately.
This point was mentioned while I was unavoidably out of the House for a moment. Could the Minister give us an assurance in regard to the planning of this hospital and its ultimate construction that only Irish professional people will be employed? The Minister knows that I raised the same point with him in regard to St. James's Hospital.

As far as I know the North Eastern Health Board will have the obligation to select the various consultants. I presume they will do the right thing.
