Arrangements for the reception to and discharge from St. Senan's Children's Hospital, Foynes, of children from County Waterford is primarily a matter for the Waterford and Limerick County Councils. I have received no complaint in regard to those arrangements, but if the Deputy will furnish me privately with the names and addresses of the children referred to in the question, I shall have the matter investigated.
