There might be some competition with Kilkenny but I take the Deputy's point. She can rest assured that this Government will continue to invest in health services for the people of Carlow. I was delighted to be able to visit, with Deputy Murnane O'Connor, the upgraded ambulance base in Carlow in the last few days. We now want to continue with that progress of the permanent ambulance base in a state-of-the-art facility across the road in the other facility.

On orthodontics specifically, the south-east region includes Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny and south Tipperary. The region is served by the regional orthodontic unit in Waterford, which is the main service. There are supporting clinics in Kilkenny, Clonmel and Enniscorthy. We can always keep that under review.
