Mr. Derek Tierney:

It is true. There is an allocation of just over €1 billion towards capital infrastructure. I will give the Deputy a breakdown to put that in context. Some 84% of that is already contractually committed before we start into a year, which means there is approximately 16% to prioritise across that estate. The estate comprises 4,000 buildings. It is the largest estate footprint in the country. Therefore, when hospitals or hospital groups have proposals, that 16% has to be prioritised. That is the reality.
