My question relates to the commitments in the programme for Government in respect of health care, to which the Tánaiste referred. There is a wonderful institution, St. Theresa's Hospital, in Clogheen, County Tipperary. A local committee and families whose loved ones died in the hospital have raised almost €500,000 and the Health Service Executive, HSE, is to contribute €400,000 or €500,000. However, we cannot get to have meetings or engagement with the HSE. The project has been left hanging for three years and different designs have been brought over and back. The hospital has an excellent staff and matron and is widely used by people from across County Tipperary and west Waterford. I ask the Tánaiste to drop into the hospital which is located not far from the motorway-----
