I propose to take Questions Nos. 613 and 614 together.
The Capital Programme announced earlier this year provides for the replacement and refurbishment of 90 public nursing homes across the country over the next five years. This includes provision for a new CNU at Letterkenny by 2021 at an estimated cost of €22.75m. This will replace existing beds where the physical environment requires significant improvement.
The costs included to date in the above Capital Programme are indicative only and will be refined as detailed work advances. This work includes include appraisal, project brief, design feasibility, the review of costing estimates and finalisation of financing. A contract has yet to be awarded in respect of this project.
