In terms of the national maternity hospital, while I know it is not possible to put solar panels on certain buildings and in certain places, I advise Mr. Tierney to note the issue of renewable energy. Issues around energy availability, energy usage and energy costs are going to ramp up over the next 20 years and we will have to deal with those. I suggest that be taken on board in respect of this project.
