Mr. Jim Breslin:

It is standard the world over. The building is handed over and it then has to be brought into operation. One does not take it straight from the builder and put patients into it. As the chair said, we are now in the process of passing the building across to Children's Health Ireland, which has a full plan in place to bring patients on board over the summer period.
