I do not want to scare residents who are there at present. The HSE recently announced that it will close Owenacurra but redo wards in St. Stephen's and that it will redo St. Catherine's. Has a cost-benefit analysis been carried out between the cost of retrofitting and construction to a single-storey building such as that at Owenacurra as opposed to a multistorey building such as at St. Stephen's?
