274 Deputy Mary Wallace asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the car park at Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, has a parking ticket and clamping system in operation (details supplied); if she will raise the issue with the Health Service Executive with a view to considering a barrier system similar to that in operation at Our Lady’s Hospital, Navan, under which persons pay at the barrier when exiting the hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40200/10]

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
