I imagine that is a big challenge for people who are coming from Kerry to Dublin. They have to work out how much they will use and there might be delays and they might have to wait. There must be easier solutions for it.

This week is transplant week. Mr. Hurley made a point about lung transplants and it was said that 30 to 40 are done per year. If he was working, he would not be able to get the transplant. That is not down to the criteria. What did he say? Would he be deemed not to be sick enough for the transplant?
