That is all very welcome. As the Minister stated, it is about ensuring there is a pipeline, something we have not had in recent years. I welcome that the Minister is talking about multiple Departments. We all get that there is crossover, particularly in respect of disability services. It is fair to say we are not starting from the point at which we would like to start in the sense there probably has been insufficient conversation from the Department of Health and the HSE in previous years, and possibly the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. All I want to know is that the correct conversations are happening and then, to put it colloquially, the devil and all is being done from the point of view of delivering for these necessary services.

If I may, I will ask a question on another matter, relating to the Trinity centre job activation and engaging with industry. Is the Minister considering using the likes of the education and training board, ETB, structure from the point of view of doing that for both the Trinity centre and other projects that might fall under phase 4?
