"Madam President, Leona Lamb was born in Mount Carmel Hospital at 12.24 p.m. last Friday. After 55 years, she is the last baby of an estimated 78 000 to have been born in Mount Carmel Hospital. This hospital has now closed, because of Celtic tiger greed, which saw debts of EUR 56 million levied on the hospital. Despite being a private hospital, the reality is that 80% of the patients were public patients on public waiting lists, and its closure will force the waiting lists up again.
What does it say that Mr Bruton, the Minister for Jobs, will boast about creating low-paid jobs but will do nothing to defend the 350 jobs at risk here? Doesn’t it say everything that is wrong with the so-called poster child for recovery in Europe that, while ordinary people are deprived of service, ordinary workers are deprived of jobs and staff are offered only statutory redundancy only after six months, the previous owner, Jerry Conlan, is sitting pretty on lots of money in America? I salute those workers who have taken a stand, who have occupied their workplace. The hospital should be taken into public ownership and run as part of the public health service, in the interests of the public and the workers."@en1
