Let me raise the issue of people who have contracted legionnaires' disease in public buildings. All public buildings should be assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency and health and safety authorities to ensure workers are not open to contracting serious diseases in their places of work.

What health and education programmes will be restructured, reorganised or cut in each area throughout the State? It would be very helpful if all public representatives had this information. I ask that the decision on locating the Central Mental Hospital on a site at Thornton Hall be reconsidered seriously.
