I thank the Minister of State for his contribution. There is no doubt the Government has shown a clear commitment to the hospital because of its large investments since it was built in the 1940s. However, in order to complete the process, it needs a small capital investment. I am heartened by the words of the Minister of State and I would like him personally to take the matter on board in the Department. It would be a shame not to complete the work at the hospital and I look forward to seeing the Minister of State there in the near future.
