In fairness to the HSE in the south and south west, it has acquired the golf links hotel, the Blarney, where it will provide an extra 50 beds. However, I am concerned that, when we finish the building work in March, we will again leave 50 beds unoccupied for a period of time. We could have anything up to 100 step-down beds available but not being utilised. I am a bit concerned about forward planning in that regard.
