In the case of Cork, is the development of the facility there being prioritised and is it ongoing? Where is it on the list?

There are a number of them and Professor Gallagher will address them. The association has carried out significant fund raising and has identified the areas in which it will work in partnership with us to help us on the capital build because, as members can appreciate, we do not have as much capital as we had previously. We are prioritising those with Professor Gallagher and the association. These people have gone out and raised a substantial amount of money for a particular facility. It is my responsibility with Professor Gallagher to ensure this money is spent wisely. The unit in Cork is running very successfully and Professor Gallagher has a considerable amount of contact with it.
