My question is very specific. Will the Taoiseach comply with the will of this Dáil in relation to the national maternity hospital? On three different occasions, the Dáil, including the Taoiseach's Government, unanimously agreed to a motion providing that the new hospital will be a public hospital on a public site, owned and run by the State through the agency. I want the Taoiseach to commit, please, and to tell me that he is going to act in accordance with what we have asked for in three separate motions over the past nine months. The Government has accepted those motions on each occasion. There might have been a nuanced difference, but that was all. We want a public maternity hospital on a site that is publicly owned.
