There is an issue with regard to all building projects getting staff. People from Cork, Kerry and Limerick are working on building projects in Dublin. This is having a knock-on effect in their areas. We need to find out the stage at which the hospital is. Is it 25%, 30% or 35% complete? The big problem we have now is that there are a lot of subcontractors doing electrical work, plumbing work and all of the infrastructure that has to be put in internally. Are there particular delays in individual areas? In some areas there is a shortage of equipment. What issues are arising in this regard? It is important that we get an indication on the challenges.
