Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

There has already been some discussion on the proposals for a prison at Thornton Hall. I want to raise the proposal to move the Central Mental Hospital to the Thornton Hall site and the widespread opposition to that from a variety of organisations. Economist, Mr. Jim Power has made a cost-neutral proposal to leave the Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum by selling off part of the site. This would cost the State nothing. Has the Government given any thought to that?
