I am informed by the Mid-Western Health Board that the sale of the property was conducted in adherence with best practice and policy protocols at the time and with the involvement of the Valuation Office. The Mid-Western Health Board agreed the sale of the hospital in 1998 for £2.444 million, or €3.1 million, and the actual closure of the hospital took place in September 2001.
