It seems to me that Bertie would promise a TGV to Holyhead if it got the Mater the Chislers Hospital. I suspect this may be the deal he wants to strike before getting out as Taoiseach, so that when the reckoning comes the locals will tug the forelock a la Haughey and say "shure didn't he gerrus the chislers hospital, a great man altogether".
