Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I very much appreciate the good news. As I said, it has taken 20 years to get the land. Let me concentrate on the good news that it is now in the Department's possession and the project will go to the HSE. The process should be completed by November. I will then be able to take this issue to a different Department, depending on what the electorate says, to ensure the health centre is built. I welcome that. The Minister of State probably does not have any idea what the plans of the HSE are in terms of when construction will start. I refer to the Minister of State's generous offer to update me on the other islands. I would very much appreciate that.
