Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brian O'Connell:

The target is and will remain that we are engaging with the country council in relation to access, as would be normal in any project of this scale. Regarding the Glanmire site, the access is challenged. We are working though that to make sure we get a successful planning permission. That is active engagement as we speak today. We are absolutely making sure that we have the best location within the site. We have gone through a number of iterations of design, as would be normal in a project of this size and complexity. I want to reassure members that this is one of our priority projects across the country, and it is getting all our attention to progress this as quickly as possible.

On Mallow, the additional two floors are on site and being fitted out at the moment. They are currently scheduled for completion in quarter 4 of next year.
