I thank Deputy Adams, who took the words out of my mouth. I was going to say that I do not know the answer to the questions he posed. That is why I have taken note of them and will bring them to the attention of the Minister and ask him to reply to the Deputy directly.

In terms of the written response from the Department, it is apparent that confusion around the status of the project has arisen because the intended timeline for delivery was amended to enable disability services to be provided from the centre in addition to the services originally identified. It should be stressed that when the centre opens it will include primary care, mental health and disability services and will be a real asset to all of the people of Dundalk, young and old. I am sorry that I do not have a reply to the list of questions Deputy Adam's posed. However, I will tell the Minister that the Deputy would like a more comprehensive reply.
