It was because we investigated that issue.

This will not be a private community nursing unit. It will operate in the same manner as the unit in Ballincollig, County Cork. Deputy McLellan, who is sitting behind Deputy Ó Snodaigh, is aware that it operates very well and it is availed of by people from the public list. It is run on behalf of the State and is run highly effectively. If this unit could be opened and be of benefit to the community and to those who are in acute hospitals and clearly do not wish to be there but do not have an option, that would be a good day's work. I encourage the HSE to get on and do the job and to make sure space is available for people who could benefit from such a unit.
