Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 185 and 186 together.
The post of professor of surgery at University College Hospital, Cork and the post of professor of pathology, also at University college Hospital, Cork, are presently under review in my Department. Favourable consideration is being given to the proposals and discussions are ongoing between my Department and the agency. On the basis of the discussions to date I would be hopeful that a satisfactory outcome could be achieved in the very near future.
