I thank the Minister of State. It is important that there is communication with us and with ambulance paramedics. I know the great work that is being done and the number of call-outs that are being achieved, especially during the Covid crisis. Will the Minister of State come back to me with more definite timescales and outlining the framework plan? It is important that we have a specific timescale because of the urgency of the situation. I know there are other projects earmarked for delivery, such as the plans for the Holy Angels day care centre, which is another excellent project for Carlow town. I welcome that. It is important that we get moving on the ambulance base as soon as possible and that information is communicated and updates given. I ask the Minister of State to keep that in mind and to keep me informed.

I would be very glad if he can come back to me on the primary care centre for Tullow, which was meant to have been built two years ago. I still have not found out what site has been identified for it. There is an urgent need for this facility in Tullow. I ask for it to be a priority and for the Minister of State to come back to me on it. I thank him for allowing me to raise two issues.
