University Hospital Galway pressures
The Leader acknowledges the emergency department’s problems at University Hospital Galway and hopes funding will be provided to address them.
Senators Michael Mullins and Trevor Ó Clochartaigh mentioned the problems being experienced at University Hospital Galway, especially in its emergency department. Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh has raised the issue on several occasions, including during Commencement debates. I hope the necessary finance will be put in place to address the problems that obviously are encountered in the hospital.
Senator Fearga; Quinn referred to the human dignity award presented to Barney Curley. I did not have an opportunity to attend the reception this morning when the award was presented.
