I want to ask about that. I congratulate the Minister on the new service he has introduced for diabetics. I also congratulate him on the long-term illness service which is a very good one. People are very grateful for it. A local issue involves dementia and the pilot Genio projects on the latter in different areas. The pilot has worked very well in Stillorgan and Blackrock. I ask the Minister to consider it down the line. It is great that people with dementia can be facilitated to live at home and to be helped there. I am delighted that Professor Ian Robertson received €160 million to carry out research at Trinity College. It was announced a few weeks ago.
