I have met representatives of Purple House Cancer Support and discussed this issue at length. They feel strongly that they have been misled by the Minister. Rightly or wrongly, that is what they are saying. They believe that promises made in good faith, which they took in good faith, are not being honoured. The Minister and I both appreciate that proper procedures must, and will, be followed. The representatives of Purple House Cancer Support have gone sale agreed on a property and the question they and I ask is when, in the context of right and proper procedure, they can expect to have an answer from the State on whether they can proceed. That is what this comes down to for them.
