We are 12 months on from Storm Babet, which took place in 2023. Enormous damage was done to Midleton. I was talking about this with the Office of Public Works earlier in the week. Midleton hospital experienced devastating flooding. The Owenacurra Centre there, which has been much-discussed over the current Dáil term, was damaged too. I want to get insight on where the HSE is with rolling out the new capital infrastructure both for psychiatric care in Midleton and the Midleton hospital development. That has been dragging on for a long time. I am more than concerned about it. Where are we with it?
