Committee on Public Petitions

Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive

Mr. Ciar?n Ruane:

Deputy Mattie McGrath had a number of queries there. The Deputy might have to repeat some of them.

The issue with the wheelchair access in the primary care centre in Carrick-on-Suir was that the building was set out at a certain level and when the flood risk analysis was done, that is where the issue that I brought in at the start arose. That is where the requirement was to raise the floor level, from what it was to be, by 1 m. That is what caused the huge issue with the wheelchair access. That was not noticed beforehand.
