Mary Henry (Independent)

I previously asked the Leader of the House for a debate on the Mental Health Commission report for 2003. I am sure she has it on her list. However, it looks like the Central Mental Hospital lands in Dundrum is to be sold without any suggestion that the money will be ring-fenced for mental health projects. It could be used to fund the entire prison complex in north County Dublin, which will possibly include the Central Mental Hospital. In that context, I ask the Leader to arrange the debate as soon as possible. There is a very good section in the report on forensic psychiatry. When we have the debate on the report, we will have an opportunity to question the relevant Minister on the proposal regarding the Central Mental Hospital and especially on what is to happen regarding the moneys accruing from the sale of such valuable land.
