Mr. Damien McCallion:

They will be staggered. The hub at Tallaght has been there for some time and is successful. Tallaght has moved from 30% of day case work being done in 12 weeks to nearly 80%, and there is further scope in that regard. At Mount Carmel in south Dublin, the first phase is in construction and will open in quarter 1. The second phase will be operational around the middle of the year. In north Dublin, we anticipate the hub to be operational around the end of quarter 3. Deputy Shortall asked about that one. It involves adapting an existing facility. The tender process for the Galway hub is just concluding, so the timeline will be contingent on what comes out of that. The tenders for all of the other hubs are at what is called the suitability assessment stage. Those processes will dictate their dates. All of the other work on them has been fast-tracked. We separated out the enabling work and other pieces so that they could move in parallel with the other tenders and try to build up pace.
