An on-site meeting with HSE CHO 1's head of social care, general manager disability services and service manager disability services, a representative from HSE estates and a representative from the Respond housing agency took place on the morning of 12 February last. The purpose of the meeting was to consider any outstanding minor works to be completed and to carry out a walk-though of the premises with the Respond architect and members of the HSE estates. Agreement was reached that a list of minor works would be compiled with HSE estates and forwarded to Respond for consideration. Discussions have taken place with the family of a potential resident and the HSE has submitted the remedial works plan required to the Respond housing agency to request agreement on which remedial works the latter will fund. I understand the Deputy's interest in the project. I know he has tabled many parliamentary questions on the issue. My fellow Ministers of State and I will bring this issue to the Minister and try to clarify the matter for once and for all.
