Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

To get final clarity on this, can I take it as read, assuming the private finances are supplied, that Beaumont, Mid-west Limerick, CUH and St. James's hospitals will go ahead with tax breaks? Can the Minister clarify whether Waterford and Sligo hospitals, where project agreements are being prepared, will go ahead with tax breaks? Can she clarify whether Connolly and Tallaght hospitals, which are at earlier stages, will go ahead with tax breaks? Was the deputy leader of the Green party, Deputy Mary Alexandra White, right in stating that most of the planned collocation hospitals would wither on the vine because there seems to be a difference of opinion in Government on all of this?
