I will group the questions because I only have a statement rather than a specific question. I note with appreciation the work of the Minister's officials, and the Minister also, who were involved in putting this together but from a personal perspective, having visited Oberstown and seen the facility, I wish to note with appreciation the 8% increase earmarked under subhead A4 and the various additional expenditures that are planned on the basis of that facility. I want to note that having viewed the work of Mr. Bergin, his staff and the facility. They even referenced the Minister having visited them on Tuesday and the Gaisce awards of which they are incredibly proud. They mentioned it several times while I was in the facility. It is very worthwhile for us to make our rehabilitation services as appropriate as they can be under those circumstances. That is my only comment.
