I thank Senator Burke for raising this issue. I would be more than happy to give him more information on the proposals for the St. Mary's campus. I can only share his frustration over the delay that has occurred. I have no information as to the reason for this delay. It is the Government's intention that these projects, however they are delivered, should be expedited. It is a crucial element of the Government's health strategy. Delays can arise whether for legal or title reasons but the length of time in this case is considerable. I take note of the work being done by the consultants at the community facility in Knocknaheeny, a welcome development. If I can be of any further assistance with the St. Mary's project or other aspects of this development, I would be more than happy to assist the Senator.
