Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Not to my knowledge. The capital funding for that project is identified and allocated in the capital plan. The University of Limerick Hospitals group, like the six other groups, is a priority both in and of itself for the benefits it provides to the population it serves and as an integral part of the overall reform of the health system. The person to whom the Deputy has referred has done an excellent job. However, I simply am not comfortable discussing what she may or may not be doing career-wise without her being here or without her knowledge.
