Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I will ask Mr. O'Connell to explain the methodology that is being used. The Senator is either fortunate or unfortunate compared with other committee members in that I happen to know everything about the area where he lives. I advertised the first primary care centre in Ennistymon. Nobody regrets more than I that it never materialised. The Senator will know, and I am not being defensive when I say this, parties other than the HSE are involved in these developments. That can cause inordinate delays and problems. That said, at the end of the day, the public rely on us. I accept that. Ennistymon is on the readvertisement list for this year, as a reboot of a new project. Mr. O'Connell will explain the actual process. We have tried to refine the process to avoid the type of thing the Senator talked about.
