I would raise two brief points, for fear anyone would think that Deputy Kelleher had a monopoly over matters parochial. I noted when Mr. O'Brien read out the small hospitals framework list that there was a glaring omission, and I am deeply upset. Could he go back on that for a moment? What has happened to the former Monaghan Hospital, the place of my birth? It did not appear on his list and I am deeply concerned.
As a second and last question, regarding the two by €35 million, can we be assured that this €70 million is additional to the budget for mental health services and it will be particular to the ongoing roll-out and underpinning of A Vision for Change?
