Ms Killeen White mentioned the new 20 palliative care beds. Obviously, they will not be in Tipperary and will instead be located just across the border in, I believe, Waterford. Those services are being availed of.

I am glad to hear someone from the HSE acknowledging the great work being done in palliative care. People would be lost without that care, in particular the outreach programmes. I represent Dún Laoghaire in Dublin. Our local hospice was recently redeveloped, which placed a significant strain on services. Thankfully, Our Lady's Hospice was able to continue providing its excellent care through the outreach service, supplemented by the Wicklow Hospice. At our previous meeting, the action group acknowledged the fantastic care provided to residents and patients at St. Brigid's.

Deputy McGrath has left. I thank the Chair for his intervention in the matter, but it is unfortunate the Deputy would not withdraw the remarks. The Deputy mentioned that, contrary to the Minister of State's comment, the building was less than 200 years of age. I believe he said it was 180 years old. In Ms Killeen White's remarks, though, she referred to 1817, which would make it 206 years old. Is that correct? Was it a workhouse that later became a healthcare facility?
