I will make one final point. I have listened to what Mr. Fitzgerald has said. I believe we will be back here again, perhaps in 12 months' time. As many of the Deputies on this call are well aware, between 2000 and 2002, we had 69 suicides in east Cork, the majority of these occurring in Midleton. Despite this, Mr. Fitzgerald is telling me we do not need services in this town. I do not know from where he is getting his advice.
