Mr. John Fitzmaurice:

I welcome Deputy Canney's comments and the commitment to work together. I know he will also work with Mr. Mattie Quinn and Mr. Ryan up there. As I have said, I intend to take this step by step. We spoke about a number of options the last time. Our primary focus is on the first option, which is to get Seven Springs day centre reopened as is. We have presented a proposal in that regard and are awaiting feedback and follow-up. Once I have that, I will sit down with the concerned citizens' group, representatives of the regional health forum, Deputy Canney and anyone else with an interest. We will step it out gradually. We are committed to finding a solution with the people in Loughrea. We will take that one step at a time.
