Sligo laboratory amendment
The Cathaoirleach puts Senator Mooney’s Sligo cardiac-laboratory amendment, which Senator Mooney withdraws after the Leader undertakes to contact the Health Minister.
Senator Paschal Mooney has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Health on the approval of a cath lab facility in Sligo General Hospital be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
Comment on this
I am grateful for the Leader's response, not only for the empathy he has shown on an issue that obviously has an impact in his own part of the country but also for his intention to communicate directly with the Minister for Health, Deputy Leo Varadkar, on it. Therefore, I will not press the amendment.
