Mr. John Pollock:

It is all one composite planning application to An Bord Pleanála. So we think it will probably be about three weeks of an oral hearing; it might be two, but we think two to three weeks of an oral hearing and An Bord Pleanála has said it is working to try to have a decision made by 15 February next year.

Obviously there has been a huge amount of engagement with, I suppose, all the stakeholders, who are many, starting, obviously, with the staff in the hospitals - the consultants, nurses and clinicians who will operate this hospital as to what will make a world-class hospital. In the community, we have done a mail drop to 4,000 residents and we organised, I think it was, four or five drop-in sessions at the local community hall, in the F2 in Fatima, where we had our architects and design teams and boards to present what the hospital would look like. We took on board, where we could, comments and feedback from the locals. For example, they were concerned about the height of the balconies. We raised the height of the balconies. We put screening on it. We lowered the road to reduce potential overlooking. We took on board comments about the family accommodation unit which is for mums and dads who could be staying there for months on end. That is not a project that is going to be funded by the HSE. Residents in Cameron Square were concerned about the impact of that and what it might look like. So we agreed that we would include it in our planning application. So it is a two to four-storey building that is residential in nature and it backs on to their property.
