The HSE has advised that it would await consideration of the report before giving approval for the project to proceed to tender.

The Department will now have discussions with the HSE in light of the report to determine how the development project is to be advanced. The primary concern is to ensure that the solution arrived at is in the best interests of the children of this country.
