I will ask the HSE comment on that. I acknowledge that living near any major construction project will obviously cause significant disruption in an area. As I said when Senator Devine introduced me to some residents here at the health committee, I think it is very important that the hospital constructors are good neighbours and keep people informed as to what is going on and consult with them. I was told there were engagement fora in place. The residents had expressed to me a view that more senior people need to attend those to keep them fully informed and I have passed that on. Obviously, it is an unavoidable reality that when a major construction project goes on in an area, it causes a degree of disruption. Trying to keep people informed and have good lines of communication open is basic good manners, and I would be very eager that this continues to happen. Mr. Reid may have something to add.
