This matter relates to the primary care centre in Knocknaheeny. My understanding is that the centre has been completed for more than four years but is not occupied. According to the agenda of Cork City Council, it agreed to transfer the land with the primary care centre on it. I am not sure why it has taken four years for that transfer to take place. A primary care centre is needed in the area. There are more than 1,150 local authority houses in the immediate area, along with a significant catchment of private housing. It is an important area in which to locate a primary care centre. I seek an update on why it has not opened and when it is likely to open.
