Even as regards identifying the site, the HSE has a 100-acre site at Sarsfield Court in Glanmire. The hospital could be built block by block there into the future. This is about long-term planning to ensure we are not looking for additional space in three, five or ten years. There is 100 acres of land owned by the HSE that is underutilised. Let us at least identify the site so that we can get on with the job of getting this facility built to deal with the capacity issue in Cork.
