412. To ask the Minister for Health if he can provide full detail on the safety issues that currently make the establishment of a 24-hour accident and emergency unit in Ennis General Hospital unviable. [11405/24]

I am aware of calls for an Emergency Department to be provided in Ennis. I have requested clinical advice on this matter from the Chief Clinical Office of the HSE, and this advice strongly advises against this course.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
