Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

The extension referred to by the Deputy was due for completion by early February 2012. As he knows, however, a storm in the middle of December caused considerable damage to the block. That has been put right and it is estimated the extension will be completed in the next six weeks. With the commissioning and additional works that need to be done on internal structures, the HSE believes the extension will be ready for use by June or July 2012.
