I have made funds available to the Eastern Health Board in the current year's capital programme for the provision of a welfare home for the aged at Harold's Cross.
It is expected that detailed planning of the home will take eight to ten months. Work will commence on the site late this year or early in 1979, and it will take approximately 18 months to build and commission the home.
