Ms Kate Killeen White:

If I could just come in there, I thank the Deputy for his comments. I appreciate what he has said and I am aware of some of the locations he has mentioned. It is important to stress that there are multiple ongoing plans around our capital infrastructure within the HSE, including in south Tipperary. We are developing the new unit in St. Anthony's and we have had discussions around the plan for a new unit in Cashel because we had decamped that as a result of Covid. There are multiple strands of capital infrastructure ongoing right across the country, and investment in existing buildings to try to refurbish them in line with the guidelines we are working to. I just wanted to state that. I do not want to go back over it but as I said, the building simply was not viable to the level of works required at St. Brigid's-----
