I will continue on the point Deputy Dillon made about the transparency and oversight of the delivery of projects. Mr. Watt may not be familiar with the Finglas primary care centre project and he can revert to me with an update in writing. We know how important primary care is in the area and the HSE has done significant preparatory work on the site. Unfortunately, the project has been dogged by planning delays and other issues. As with Deputy Dillon, who I am sure will advocate for capital projects in his area, I ask that the Department ensure the primary care centre in Finglas, an area of real need with a very low number of GPs in some parts, is delivered to the community so that we can tackle not just the GP waiting lists and related issues but also provide for more holistic healthcare.

I had to attend DDoc with my son in the Coolock primary care centre last week. I was quite envious of the facility it has. I am sure Mr. Watt does not have project details in front of him at the moment, but if he could take that on board, I would appreciate it.
