I propose to take Questions Nos. 415 and 416 together.

As these are service matters, they have been referred to the Health Service Executive, the funding agency of the project, for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days he should contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
