Mr. Damien McCallion:

I might ask my colleague, Ms Day, to come in in a second. I would agree in terms of even five or ten beds. I was in another hospital yesterday where five beds are making a difference. Small numbers can help. As Mr. Mulvany said, it also gives people that little bit of hope that there is something there. Clearly, bigger developments take much longer. As the Senator knows, there is a big development planned in Galway but it will take a number of years. Therefore, it is about also trying to maximise the existing physical infrastructure, both in the hospital and the community.

I will ask Ms Day to come in on the Senator’s specific point on Galway because she has been there and worked with the group.
