asked the Minister for Health if he will state the total estimated cost of the buildings now being erected on the site of the Garden of Remembrance at the Rotunda Hospital; and if he will indicate the period for which it is intended to use this site for a children's clinic.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cost of Rotunda Hospital Buildings.
I am informed that the estimated cost of the buildings as requested by the Deputy is £39,734; it is intended to use the site for an infants' unit until the accommodation has been provided elsewhere in permanent form. Proposals and details of preliminary planning for the erection of such buildings, on an alternative site, received from the board of the Rotunda Hospital, are under consideration in my Department.
