Two seconds, if the Minister of State will allow me. This is very important. I forgot about it and I should not have. Does the Minister of State realise that we have a situation in the psychiatric ward of Kerry General Hospital where workers were recently attacked? Very unfortunately three people were seriously injured. In case the Minister might think that was a one-off occurrence, it has been happening since St. Finian's and St. Peter's wards closed and it is because we do not have a secure unit in the psychiatric ward of Kerry General Hospital. That situation must be addressed as matter of urgency. I thank the Chairman for allowing me.
