I propose to take Questions Nos. 67 and 68 together.

The new Intreo Centre at Edward Street, Tralee incurred a refurbishment cost of €225,810.84.

The costs are broken down as follows:

Structural Costs: €173,196

Furniture and Fittings: €47,559.18

Internal Signage: €4,196.46

External Signage: €859.20

The transfer of the Community Welfare Service from Denny St to Edward St, took place before the Department of Social Protection assumed responsibility for the Community Welfare Service in 2011.

The Community Welfare Service moved from Denny Street to Edward Street in 2008. Any associated costs would need to be confirmed by the Health Service Executive.
