Adequate funding has been earmarked for the development in the multi-annual capital programme of the Department of Health and Children and the HSE. That funding remains in place and will be used.

The contract for construction of the new facility was signed on the 14 October 2010. The site has been handed over to the contractor. An architect has been appointed, the contractor, design team and project manager are on site and construction work has commenced. The site had previously been cleared in readiness for construction to begin. It is expected that construction of the building will take 18 months. Completion is expected as early as possible in 2012.

As the remaining questions asked by the Deputy are service matters they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
