John Moloney: The Deputy has asked a number of questions. There is no dispute over the figure of â¬143,000 as compared to the cost of care provided by the Jack and Jill Children's Foundation.

No formal decision has been taken on the location in Portrane. My strategy was based on the hope that we would first determine the means of funding the project. I had hoped to have that done-----
- Health Service Staff. (11 Feb 2010)
John Moloney: My intention is to have a public meeting in Portrane to explain why we are thinking of locating there rather than having people believe our decision was made in advance of their having an input. There has not yet been a formal decision. The Government must decide, over the next three months, how to fund the project. I intend to meet the residents in public when we have some objections.

The report is imminent and I am...
