Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

In practically every part of the country we are seeing new facilities. Leopardstown has its own development plan and is going through its own phases with the HSE and the Department of Health and Children to try to get its plan. I will get an update on how that stands.

From the Government's point of view, in this year's capital programme, even in tougher times, we are pushing ahead with the staff numbers and staff approvals in the areas that require them and we will continue to do that.
