Comhghairdeas leis an Aire Stáit. I have two queries both of which relate to St. Loman's, Mullingar. Has the Minister of State any plans for the main building which is about 95% unoccupied? It is a landmark structure as one approaches the town of Mullingar. Funding has been put into some of its new infrastructures.

An issue was brought to my attention by HSE staff concerning care in the community. The policy has been to get people back into the community and care in the community. Some staff members have expressed their concerns that there are people in care in the community whom they consider should not be in the community. There have been a few incidents. I am sure Mullingar is not the only town in which this has happened. Has any assessment taken place as to how some of our clients are being cared for in the community? Perhaps some mistakes have been made in respect of some of these people and, if so, they should be assessed differently.
