Mr. Peter Hughes:

Yes, these moneys were to be reinvested in services but that has not happened. That is the reason we lost resources and do not have community services. The resources that operated in these institutions were not moved out into the community and the money generated from the sale of lands was not reinvested. It was partially reinvested in the new unit in the Grangegorman site and I also gave the example of investment arising from the sale of St. Loman's hospital. Apart from these two cases, the money has not been reinvested elsewhere. Our Lady's hospital in Cork is another example of a large site which, if sold, could generate significant funding for mental health services.
