628. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Health if Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, held interviews with new graduate nurses for nursing posts this year; if a panel was formed; if so, when was it formed, the number on the panel; and when will offers be made to panelists. [66989/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
