The planning process for Ballybane centre for mentally handicapped is almost completed and the next stage would be the approval of tenders to enable building work to commence. Capital resources for this year were such, however, that it has not been possible to allocate the necessary resources for this project. The matter will be kept under review in the light of the out-turn for 1976 and the capital allocation for 1977.
