asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if, in view of the fact that the Grangegorman Mental Hospital Board have sanctioned the transfer of the lands and premises at Santry Court, County Dublin, under the Tuberculosis (Establishment of Sanatoria) Act, 1945, to establish a sanatorium containing 1,000 beds for Dublin County and City, he will negotiate for the evacuation of the premises to enable reconstruction work on the new sanatorium to begin as soon as possible.

The Deputy need not worry on that score.
