Deputy Matt Shanahan, uninterrupted.

I count 51 days to the end of the Taoiseach's premiership. Many commitments were made to Waterford and the south east in that time but one is paramount, namely, 24-7 cardiac care. We are just weeks away from a formal handover of the second cath lab in Waterford and we have no bed allocation other than the existing allocation within the hospital to service that cath lab. In essence, we are getting a Rolls-Royce with no engine. A 12-bed day ward was promised. I have engaged with the HSE for almost two years. We have spoken about modular space, capital remediation and moving out community services but we have done nothing in that time to deliver these beds and we cannot open the cath lab without having beds. In these remaining days, will the Taoiseach give a commitment through the Department of the Taoiseach to expedite some framework that we can get beds allocated to this unit?

I look forward to the day when the Deputy stands up and says, "We asked for a second cath lab and we got it".

It is no good without beds.

And "we asked for a lot more staff and we got them".

Be factual. You cannot run a service.

And "we asked for more beds in the hospital and we got them". And "we asked for more services in the region and we got them". The Deputy is aware-----

We are still asking.

Sorry, I did not shout over you. Please at least have the courtesy to allow me to answer your question.

You cannot run a service without beds. The patients need beds.

Deputy, please. If the Minister could do it through the Chair.

That is a ridiculous statement to make about beds.

I think we are-----

There are 22 seconds left for the Minister if he wants to use them.

I do not think the Deputy is interested.

If I could say a wee bit, we have done everything we possibly can to accelerate this. We are doing it. We will also provide the beds as well.

That is what I want to hear.
