In my constituency in Galway, €1.4 million was spent on Toghermore House, a mental health facility, within the last two to three years. There is now an issue and the section may be closed. While I understand that Mr. Woods may not be familiar with the background, it is remarkable that €1.4 million could be spent on a facility within the last two to three years only to have the HSE close it. It was visited only a year ago by a Minister who commented on how state-of-the-art it was. Would Mr. Woods like to comment on that?
