356. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to allegations that the Galway Clinic in Doughiska was operating as a medical facility outside the legal requirements for dealing with radioactive waste from isolation rooms and had failed to register with the Radiological Board of Ireland; and the steps he will take to deal with this situation [16663/14]

I can confirm that the Galway Clinic, Doughiska, County Galway has been licensed by the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII) for diagnostic, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy services involving sources of ionising radiation, and associated radioactive waste management practices, since it opened in 2004. The hospital is subject to regular inspections by the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland during which compliance with legislative and licensing requirements is assessed by RPII inspectors.
