I am not saying that. I asked a simple question. Ms Dunnion was quite eloquent when responding to Deputy MacSharry. It would probably be easier if I were to ask Ms Dunnion whether she agrees with it. The knock-on effects in the context of taxpayer's money, public confidence and the HSE's budget are dramatic. As matters stand, there will be a process whereby HIQA will do its job and will work within the framework on multi-occupancy rooms up until 2021, when the capital plan is due to come into effect. There is a major plan for St. Joseph's and, similarly, there will be a new facility at St. Conlon's in Nenagh. Either people will work within the confines of that plan to the best of their ability or they will not. My concern is that the knock-on effects and consequences for the taxpayer will be pretty significant.
