Mr. Derek Tierney:

At this stage, there is no definitive plan. My colleague, Mr. McKeith, has confirmed that there is an ongoing engagement between the HSE and CHI to look at both Crumlin and Temple Street in the context of future uses, whether that is a need for accommodation or, as the Deputy said, whether there is another need to provide healthcare services. However, no definitive use case has been defined. We might provide a note on some of those considerations.

In the context of general transport planning, I understand the concern the Deputy raises. We can engage with the HSE and the NTA to see if we can reach any solution or agreement on that. Again, that would be primarily a matter for the NTA working with Dublin Bus and other transport providers in terms of existing links. Perhaps there is an opportunity to understand where BusConnects fits in within that.
