Martin Conway (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State. With the greatest of respect to the Minister of State, who is just delivering the information, sometimes it is good to get a summation of facts we already know. My big issue here is the fact that it is next in line. Why can it not run in tandem with the one in Elm Park? That is the issue. Obviously, there is some necessary planning work taking place now that should have taken place heretofore. We are where we are, however. The maternity strategy covers the period 2016 to 2026. It is almost 2026 and this still has not happened. That is not the Minister of State's fault, but people will be somewhat disappointed with the reply. This is something that I will maybe address again when I am allowed to submit another Commencement matter in respect of this issue in six months' time. We might get some better news next March or April.
