Vol. 135 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - West Cappagh Dispensary.

asked the Minister for Health if he will state whether a temporary dispensary has been established for the convenience of Dublin Corporation tenants at West Cappagh, Finglas; whether a caretaker has been appointed; whether a new dispensary will be constructed by the Dublin Board of Assistance, and whether this board will also build a new residence for a dispensary doctor.

A temporary dispensary has been established by the Dublin Board of Assistance at Cappagh Drive, Finglas, and I understand that dispensary sessions will commence next week. A caretaker, who will also carry out the duties of cleaner and porter, has been appointed.

I have approved in principle the erection of two permanent dispensaries in this area. Sites have been selected and the planning of the buildings is proceeding. I have not received any proposal from the Board of Assistance for the erection of a dispensary doctor's residence in this area.
