I thank the Minister of State. We have done all the heavy lifting. We have been reviewed and have the recommendations from the 2023 report, and we also have the site. That is all done and dusted. I appreciate the Minister of State's response, but we need to move further. I am disappointed we are not at the stage of the funding being in place.If one visits the Teach an Saol project, one will see that it is an essential and life-changing service for people such as Pádraig with severe acquired brain injury. That is why we cannot continue to tell families who are living through unimaginable challenges, as Patricia and Reinhard are, that there is simply no money and we must go through more HSE processes. The cost of inaction, both morally and financially, will be greater as people remain without appropriate care. I urge the Minister of State to reconsider and push this along. I encourage her to meet Reinhard and Patricia and to visit Teach an Saol. I think she will find a way forward. It is something that works on the ground and excuses will not suffice.
