National governments have a role to play in procurement and tendering and it is not all handed down from the EU.

I have two areas I want to cover so I hope it is okay that I will be going at breakneck speed. I will first touch on transfer of building and equipment costs as they relate to Connolly Hospital. In particular, what is the length and cost of the lease agreement between the HSE and Children's Health Ireland for the outpatient and urgent care centre at Connolly Hospital? Will Children's Health Ireland ever own that building or is it envisaged it will always be leased from the HSE?
