Mr. Paul Lemass:
Absolutely. We do recognise that UCD has proposals in development. We are working with UCD as well. It has an overall scheme for about 1,250 beds, which can be provided in two to three phases, and we are working with it to see if we can support the first phase, which would result in 493 beds in the short term. We have not worked that through just yet but it is in the process.
