Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive
Mr. Ciar?n Ruane:
The primary care centre was raised by 1 m from what it was originally going to go in at. The height of the primary care centre is approximately 1 ft. higher than the existing hospital. We saying that when a survey is done of that, we feel we will be asked to raise the floor level of our extension by approximately 1 ft., or something in that order, but it makes it extremely difficult to tie in the two levels. You know yourself if you are building around a change in level like that, it might work in a house where it could be incorporated in as a step, it is very difficult to do in a hospital or healthcare facility. That was my point on that.
