Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

The MOU was signed in 2014. I do not have a date for the service level agreement. The MOU provided for investment from both sides in the capital development of the facility. Services commenced late last year and it is recognised as a very important service. The Deputy is articulating very well how important it is to provide prompt care for the people of the north west, including those in this jurisdiction. I did not mean to sound at all complacent in saying I was fully confident. We are exploring and working very closely in the Department and with counterparts in Northern Ireland to ensure the continuity of these very important services which are highly appreciated on both sides of the Border at official level and among the general public. They are critical services and a real priority for us in our planning for Brexit.
