Mr. Graham Doyle:

We are trying to set high and challenging targets because there is a need out there. Everybody has referenced that need. In conjunction with our colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, we negotiated for, and were provided with, significant capital funding. The issue has not been trying to take away finance. The issue is actually getting the units built.
