I jest and I joke that the Taoiseach's choice of tie today was unfortunate, given the events that have transpired in the United States. I am sure it is not an act of solidarity with the result there. I am sure it is an act of solidarity with the Labour Party as we head into the election.

It is my outreach.

I want to ask the Taoiseach on his last Leaders' Questions about an issue I have raised here previously, which is the issue of the Dean Maxwell nursing home in Roscrea. I got a very good letter from the newly appointed regional executive officer, REO, saying that they are willing to build a new 50-bed unit, something I fought for for a decade in Roscrea, on a new site or on a HSE site. This is something the people of the area will support 100% because Dean Maxwell is so important. Does the Taoiseach feel that the HSE will be in a position in the future to support this as part of its capital plan? That is where this decision needs to be made.

As I said, the tie is more outreach, maybe, to others in this House rather than anything to do with America.

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue and I thank the new REO for HSE mid-west, Sandra Broderick, for the very good work I believe she is doing in that region, often in a pressurised environment, but also for the constructive suggestions she is putting forward as regards seeking capital approval to identify a greenfield site close to the Dean Maxwell unit. It sounds to me to be very sensible. I welcome the fact that she has instructed her capital estates team to commence those works and identify that site within the Roscrea area. Should I be in a position to do so, I certainly will work constructively with the Deputy on trying to make progress on it.

I thank the Taoiseach.
