However, I think the Deputy's point about the need to provide people with that assurance and to bring the right people together is right. Can I also suggest that another group of people needs to be involved, namely, St. John of God? It is quite amazing that we have a conversation so many times about St. Joseph's and somewhat ignore the fact that it is under the patronage of the St. John of God group, which receives more than €100 million of taxpayer funding each and every year. Surely it has the ability to also provide assistance here. St. John of God's relationship with the State needs to be examined in that context. I hope that the St. John of God group, which, I am sure, is following this conversation as well, would see how it could assist as well considering that it does receive over €100 million of taxpayer funding each and every year. I will keep in touch with the Deputy about this.
