I support my colleague, Senator Maura Hopkins, in calling for the money for rehabilitation services to be reallocated. A total of €7.85 million was allocated a year ago and it must be put to use immediately.

For anyone who is not familiar with what has happened at Roscommon County Hospital, €20 million has been spent on it in the past five years; the endoscopy unit is open; there is an air ambulance service; rehabilitation services comprise a further project being planned, while the Mayo Roscommon Hospice is building an eight-bed palliative care unit. One would not believe it, but the only problem at the hospital now is that there are not enough parking spaces to meet the increased capacity. If ever Senators are driving through Roscommon, I urge them to call to see what is a most wonderful facility. After five years of negativity, the hospital is now much safer. They should speak to the consultants and managers. Sometimes good news never gets out and we only hear the bad news. Do not ask me - ask the consultants and managers at the hospital.

Was last night not amazing? The President showed great enthusiasm and vigour. Seeing him there summed up everything. We are very proud of him. I was on a double-decker bus 28 years ago when the Republic of Ireland played England in Stuttgart. It brought great confidence to the country. I want the British to remain in the European Union and hope they will vote that way, but every morning I now wake up I think to myself that it has been 28 years since we beat England and that it is a great day. The French media, in commenting on Northern Ireland and Republic fans, stated that, in terms of football, Ireland was unified. One person mentioned that watching the two sets of supporters was good for the soul. That is good news. Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill will agree that this will translate in future marching seasons, but we must build on it and not be afraid. The Seanad should shout this good news loudly because we have come a long way.
