It is not too often that we get the European Ombudsman to attend and I will catch her on the spot. I wish to return to an issue about which I have spoken to her, namely, the health centres, and so on. She may remember that I mentioned a mental health and respite centre for old folks, the Owenacurra mental health centre in Midleton, County Cork. If I send the details to her, can the European Ombudsman give me a commitment that she might even look at it, because I believe it is a human rights issue?
