Select Committee on Health
Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary)
2:00 am
Mr. Derek Tierney:
I can assure the Deputy if there was any properties surplus to health needs, we do two things with it. We offer it to the LDA, which we are obliged to do, with a section 52 notice. It has eight weeks to respond. If it does not respond, we put it on what we call an interstate protocol which gives every local authority a chance to display interest. They may have budget constraints, we get that, but this is not about speculation or making money. If there is a valid use case, we will shift it.
