I always thank Deputies for raising practical problems and barriers I can interrogate and investigate within the Department and HSE. I do not know the status of every application so I really appreciate it. I am informed by the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who also serves the community in Waterford, that she met HSE Estates last week on the Tallow project, which is important. She will be keeping a close eye on the progression of that. She also informs me Tallow GP service now has four GPs operating. It is a small rural town and it needs the GP services but this is a welcome development and we will continue to work with HSE Estates.
The locum situation in Lismore has been resolved, with a permanent GP now in place, as is appropriate. The Department is working with several practices in west Waterford on their premises. There are plans for a new primary care centre in Lismore. We always want to hear about-----
