I fully support the campaign to save St Luke’s Hospital. I will be supporting the Labour amendment tomorrow at the Committee stage debate in the Seanad.

As you may know, during the Dail debates both Jan O’Sullivan and Ruairi Quinn argued for this amendment with the Minister. I have attached the text of their speeches on this issue below, which they made at Report stage before the Select Committee on Health on Wed 30^th June last. You will see from the dates of the debates in the Dail, and the fact that it is due to conclude in the Seanad tomorrow, that this Bill is in fact being rushed through with unseemly haste by the Government – a point that I hope to emphasise during the debate.
