Since Members are taking more time than they have been allocated, we have now run out of time, but I want to take two brief questions from Deputy Verona Murphy and Deputy Wynne.

In March of this year, the Taoiseach visited Wexford General Hospital after the disastrous fire that occurred there. At the same time, he promised that the 96-bed unit would be forthcoming. The people of Wexford are facing a winter of discontent because we are no further along with the 96-bed unit. I note that the Minister for Health is present, so could we have an update on when we will see the delivery of the 96-bed unit? We are going to face overcrowding. The hospital has faced considerable turmoil this year. The staff are worn out, and even constituents are worn out.

I want to raise the case of my constituent Joseph in Kilkee who, only for policy reasons, has been discriminated against by the State for having the cheek not to be related by blood to the carer he lives with and who does absolutely everything for him. I find it disgraceful in this day and age that we are still discriminating against carers on the basis of blood when it comes to the criteria for the disabled drivers and passengers scheme. I wrote to the Minister about this six months ago and am still waiting for a reply. I ask the Taoiseach, on behalf of my constituent Joseph and the thousands of others in similar circumstances, to take action on this and remove the criterion requiring a relationship by blood. As we all know, family is sometimes about much more than bloodlines.

To respond to Deputy Verona Murphy, the 96-bed block, or the 97-bed block, as the team keeps reminding me when I go to Wexford to meet it, features prominently in this year's capital plan, as she will be aware. It is being advanced. A detailed design is being advanced and we will be seeking to proceed on a rapid-build basis.

On Deputy Wynne's question, I do not have all the details on the gentleman in Kilkee. If the Deputy wants to pass them on to me, I will have them checked out. When it comes to any scheme, we all understand there have to be terms and conditions and rules and controls. However, if I picked up the Deputy correctly, the individuals are perhaps living in the same house. I can understand why it might make sense to make the change but I do not necessarily want to make any commitments here. If the Deputy passes on the details, I will engage with the Minister on the matter.
