I thank the Minister of State for taking the question. With regard to the primary care centre in Gorey, I note the words used by the Minister of State were that the "process was almost complete", which is the same answer I got previously and the time before that. I do not see why we cannot proceed. I realise there is an issue around parking but if everything else can proceed, let us, for want of a better phrase, park that issue and resolve it separately. We need the primary care centre. The parking issue can be resolved. I do not want to have to stand in the Chamber again next year asking the same question and be told once more the centre is almost complete.

At least, we have some further information regarding the clinic building in Camolin. It is not entirely clear. What looks like has finally happened in the past few weeks is that the HSE is offering this building to house displaced persons from Ukraine. From reading the Minister of State's response, that looks like what is being offered. I would like clarity on that. I am quite happy that the building be used for some purpose. This seems to be what the HSE is indicating will happen.I welcome it if it is the case that at least it is put to short-term use but it is not entirely clear from the answer if this is what is planned, or if it is once again just some form of speculation. It is also not clear that the legal title issue has been resolved.
