It will not be surprising that a third Cork man is going to ask a question about the elective hospital. We understand it is most likely going to be delivered over a phased basis and I will get over that and get on with it once we see progress and a planning application lodged as soon as possible. The witnesses may not be willing to or able to discuss the minutiae of the issue with the roads, for example, which was mentioned.

Are we saying the local authority has an issue with using that local rural road and requires the HSE to seek alternative access to the building site or is it that concerning?
