To be frank, if it is not bought by a section 39 organisation, a charity, the HSE or a service provider, Mr. Breslin can chalk it down that it will be bought by a housing developer that will want to capitalise on the Rosses Point view. My interest is in the care of the people and this piece of infrastructure, while it is not perfect and perhaps needs work, at the guide price, plus whatever adjustments the HSE might want to make to bring it up to new standards, would be nothing compared to going to a greenfield site to build a facility. I ask the witnesses to take that on board. I thank the witnesses. I wish Mr. Reid in particular the best of luck. I look forward to seeing him again.
