Dr. David Gibney:

The equipment was put in when it was built and it was envisaged it would operate as a minor injury unit, a bit like the example that was raised, where people hurt themselves at weekends. However, it was never developed like that. The centre developed as the economy was falling and that aspect was not developed. Eventually, it was moved to Blanchardstown.

There was a half-time post for a radiographer to come out to Ballymun who was linked into the Mater Hospital but that then fell by the wayside and they ended up being subsumed into the Mater Hospital. That is my memory of it. The machine that was moved out was never used.
