Summary
Treacy argued that plans to close Castlerea psychiatric hospital were not matched by adequate funding for care in other rural areas; the Ceann Comhairle ruled this a separate matter.
Does the Minister agree that the drastic proposals to close down the psychiatric hospital in Castlerea are not being matched by a comparative effort, either on his part or on the part of the Department, to provide funds for facilities in the other rural areas throughout the western region in order to offset the large number of psychiatric patients in Castlerea hospital who need constant care and attention?
