Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

If possible, I would like to answer the question. As I was about to say, the Mulvey agreement has, in my mind at least, already been departed from by the Government in certain aspects. Initially, the building was not to be owned by the State. It is my understanding that this has now been resolved and the State will own the building. That was not originally the case in the Mulvey agreement. Discussions are ongoing around the composition of the board of the national maternity hospital. Initially there was to be no representation. Now there is one public interest director but we are not satisfied with that.
The Mulvey agreement is an agreement between St. Vincent's and the National Maternity Hospital at Holles Street. The Government is aware of that but has never said that was the end of it-----
