Neasa Hourigan: If Mr. Fitzgerald has one I ask him to pass it on. Otherwise the asbestos report we are looking at is from two years ago and the question becomes why we are here, two years later, with a four month window to move people out of their homes. The 2020 report states capital funding has been approved for a major refurbishment, the estates department has been engaging with the design team, the...

Neasa Hourigan: I have a number of questions I did not quite get to but they speak to Deputy Stanton's previous points about the timeline. I am trying to understand how this timeline came to be and how we got here. To be clear, the decision was made in June and the residents and families were told in July, but the newest building report or estates review was done in February. Is that correct?
- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Services: HSE (21 Sep 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Okay, but Mr. Fitzgerald said earlier that the estates section compiled that report in February.

Neasa Hourigan: Were there new building surveys between December 2020 and June 2021? Did somebody go into the building to undertake new testing or new surveys?
- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Services: HSE (21 Sep 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: To be clear, did it compile the report in that period or did it undertake new surveys?
- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Services: HSE (21 Sep 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Okay. In that period, was a stand-alone, new fire inspection and a stand-alone, new asbestos report and set of testing done?
- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Services: HSE (21 Sep 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: The timeline is important. The last significant report on asbestos reviewed approximately one sixth of the building's floor area in the plan attached to the report, which would be standard. It found that asbestos is present and that it is in relatively good condition, as anyone who works in the area would know. If it is disturbed, it would be of particular concern. That dates to October...

Neasa Hourigan: Earlier in the meeting, Deputy Sherlock spoke about St. Stephen's Hospital. I agreed with much of what Deputy Sherlock said. He spoke very well. Like all of the residential facilities in the country, that was also reviewed. The most recent review was in 2020. Like Owenacurra, under Regulation 22, the premises of St. Stephen's were noted as non-compliant. That risk rating was high,...

Neasa Hourigan: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Fitzgerald. I have a quick question. I know other people want to get in. I requested building reports on the long stay and acute wards in St. Stephen's Hospital in August and I have not received them. Can Mr. Fitzgerald give an undertaking to send those reports to me?
