I have a strong objection to that because, as Mr. Breslin will be aware, Oireachtas Members representing the south east got a clear, unequivocal commitment from the Minister for Health that the project was not at risk. In fact, only last week we were told by the Minister, through a Minister of State in Waterford, that this money would not be affected and that it was 100% secure. I am concerned that Mr. Curran is now saying that this project is one of many which are under review. Will Mr. Breslin confirm that it is the case that this funding, which was committed to the people of Waterford and which we were told was 100% rock solid, is not rock solid and is under consideration by the Department?
