I am surprised it has taken the Deputy so long to introduce himself to Mallow. I have been in and out of Mallow an awful lot.

We have to deal with derelict sites and we are very focused on doing that. I believe the Deputy was in Mallow for the opening of the 49th dementia daycare centre. It was good for him to bear witness to the industry and hard work of the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who really has made a big difference in dementia care in the country with the increasing number of these dementia care centres that are being provided. I will follow up with the Minister on that site and see what the state of play is. The local authority should be working on that.
