Some young teenagers have emotional distress, anxiety or low-level mental health challenges that can...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 Apr 2023)
Mary Butler: In regard to what the Deputy raised, I think he is missing the point. Under the capital plan, a new community nursing unit, CNU, is going to be built in Cashel. If HSE estates decide the current site that was recently identified is no longer suitable, that is completely within its remit. I cannot discuss any new site at the moment because it is commercially sensitive-----
