Cashel town in Tipperary has a proud history of medical care in Our Lady's Hospital. We lost major services to Clonmel in the early 2000s after a long battle. We also have St. Patrick's Hospital, which is a wonderful institution. The assessment unit there does tremendous work to this day for people who need rehab. We have been promised a 60-bed community nursing unit for the past decade. Recently, maybe six or eight months ago, we were told the site was not suitable. There was ample time over the years to check the site, which is suitable, in my opinion. The HSE is looking at a site in Palmer's Hill now, which is up the hill. I am glad the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is here. Maybe she will answer my question. I want to know where our community nursing home is. When will see delivery and when we will have a site? The people of Tipperary and surrounding areas need that community nursing home to convalesce in when they are unable to be in hospital or at home.

I thank the Deputy for his question. There is a 100% commitment to put in place a new community nursing unit in Cashel, as he said. As he knows, very close to him, there is a fabulous 50-bed en suite community nursing unit being built in Clonmel. I visited it two weeks ago and it will be fully operational by next year. On the Deputy's specific question, HSE estates is currently exploring the best possible site for the nursing home.

The commitment is there. In 2016 the previous Government undertook to rebuild 90 community nursing units, CNU, the length and breadth of the country - 48 of them are complete, and there are another 42 to go. Cashel is included in that. I had the honour last Friday of opening a fantastic CNU in Ballyshannon in Donegal, following an investment of €37 million. Deputy McGrath's is next. It is on the list and it will be delivered.
