Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Proposed Tuberculosis Institution.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether in connection with the proposed erection of a tuberculosis institution at Ballyfermot Upper he is aware (1) that the householders in the district are greatly perturbed regarding the erection of such an institution in their midst; (2) that its erection in a district which is largely used by dairy farmers for grazing purposes is very likely going to deprive these men of a living; (3) that the parish priest of Chapelizod has acquired a site for the building of new schools within half a mile of the proposed institution; if so, if he is now prepared to alter his decision.

Representations to this effect were received in my Department and fully considered. The site was selected by the Corporation of Dublin on the advice of their medical and technical advisers and approval to its acquisition was given. I see no reason for altering that decision.
