Ms Kate Killeen White:

To reiterate, there had been challenges with St. Brigid's Hospital for many years prior to Covid. There are well documented challenges pertaining to the physical infrastructure of the building, including the two five-bed wards. One of the five-bed wards did not have access to showering facilities. The individuals who occupied that ward had to go downstairs either via the lift or the stairwell to access showering facilities. That is simply not the kind of service we want to provide.
