Fair enough. Just so that we are clear then: in the context of the decision to close the facility, the reasons cited were the existence of asbestos and the small room size.

The other options for 24-hour high-dependency beds in the Cork area are in St. Catherine's ward in St. Finbarr's Hospital and in St. Stephen's Hospital. Do they comply with best practice for room size requirement as set out by the Mental Health Commission?
