John Lahart: I am just trying to be objective. They could say, essentially, that what they have done with having a rent of €10 a year is that this is a gift to the State because there is no cost to it but the State does not own the land in perpetuity. The HSE has a lease on it for 299 years. What was that transition from the Religious Sisters of Charity into the St Vincent's Healthcare Group...

John Lahart: Regarding the number of terminations, I have the last figures available for them. The Minister is obliged to get those. There were more than 6,500 terminations in 2020, 2,414 of those were in Dublin and only 1.8% of those took place in a hospital setting, which leaves approximately 10% of those, the figure Mr. Menton mentioned, having taken place in St. Vincent's. Given that it is not...
