It would be fair to say that those people the Deputy mentioned have not raised serious concerns about the location. I have never heard anything to that effect, although I am open to correction if the Deputy has references to things they have said.

Certainly, in my discussions at Cabinet, there have not been any questions as to whether co-location at St. Vincent's is the right choice. I have always seen broad public and Government support and support in the Oireachtas for that. The concerns I heard the Tánaiste and Taoiseach raise related to the details of the project at Elm Park, including governance and site ownership or leasing details.
