We have had long discussions about the Abbeyleix and Shaen facilities for many months. I am sure the Senator will be aware that it is not strictly a question of the level of care provided. As he has rightly pointed out, the level of care provided is excellent. Other factors have to be taken into consideration. When I said a recommendation "is expected presently", I meant the report would be on the Minister's desk shortly. It will have to be discussed. I am sure the Minister will not take an arbitrary decision on it.
