Both of the Senators who wish to contribute are voting in the Seanad, so I will ask a question or two. Mr. Barnes referred to Sláintecare and the fact that there is no clarity on how much progress has been made to date on the overall cost of the reforms, but Sláintecare did receive funding. Does Mr. Barnes have a view on that funding and if it was too low? He said that it was not funded properly. Will he elaborate on that?
