I propose to take Questions Nos. 2075 and 2280 together.

Beaumont Hospital advises that St. Michael’s Ward is temporarily being used as a Covid-19 vaccination centre. It is envisaged that it will revert to its previous designation by the end of June 2021.

As these are service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly on them as soon as possible.
