As I said, the tie is more outreach, maybe, to others in this House rather than anything to do with America.

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue and I thank the new REO for HSE mid-west, Sandra Broderick, for the very good work I believe she is doing in that region, often in a pressurised environment, but also for the constructive suggestions she is putting forward as regards seeking capital approval to identify a greenfield site close to the Dean Maxwell unit. It sounds to me to be very sensible. I welcome the fact that she has instructed her capital estates team to commence those works and identify that site within the Roscrea area. Should I be in a position to do so, I certainly will work constructively with the Deputy on trying to make progress on it.
