Finally, on Abbeyleix, the location for the day care centre has to be on that site. The HSE went through a process of going around other towns in the area and seeing what was available, in terms of houses or premises. The location is there because it has the services onsite. There is a four-acre site there. The HSE has loads of space on it. It is right in the middle of the geographical area in south Laois where the HSE needs a day care centre. Any attempt to move it out would be resisted. Also, it does not make financial or management sense to move it out of there. I would ask Ms Kennedy, and I have said this to Mr. Des O'Flynn as well, that the HSE keep an eye on that.

Lastly, how much has been spent to date on the car park facility at St. Fintan's campus, the mental health facility, in Portlaoise?
