I thank the Minister of State. It is great that they have opened 165 primary care centres to date. That is brilliant. I am glad we have some timeline on Ennistymon because I know from Clare County Council that it has not received planning permission. However, the lease agreement is the first thing. I hope we can expedite it. If we are talking 18 to 24 months after the lease agreement and after the planning has been approved, we are talking about another four or five years, which does not take the pressure off of UHL today or tomorrow. However, it is definitely good to have some timeline on it and I will do my best to work with the council and whoever gets the contract to get it built as soon as possible.
