I refer to a national strategy signed off by the Government. It should be taken in the spirit in which it was meant. The Department must live with what is policy but the strategy is years behind schedule. If everything is fine, and the extra money has been found and so on, why has the project at St. Conlon's nursing home in Nenagh, which I represent, been pushed back? I hear that it has been pushed back but perhaps, and I hope, it has not been. Why can the €5 million, which is small relative to the quantum, not be found in the algorithm?
