I will bring the other members in presently. Before I do so, I make the point that it has been a long negotiation between our guests and the HSE and the Government. What were the main stumbling blocks? Was it the issue of freehold and the land? In his opening statement, Mr. Menton made the point that ownership of Elm Park campus lands is essential to ensuring ongoing provision of best hospital care and so on. Was that the stumbling block all along or was it other issues?
