While I am aware that the present accommodation at Gorey is not satisfactory, unfortunately, I am not yet in a position to indicate when it will be possible to sanction the further planning of the new health centre. A decision in this regard will depend on the availability of capital resources and the priority given to the project by the health board.

asked the Minister for Health when the premises which the South Eastern Health Board bought at Kilenagh, Gorey, County Wexford, will be ready for use as a health centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The South Eastern Health Board sought and obtained planning permission from Wexford County Council to use the premises purchased at Kilenagh as a health centre. I understand that a third party appeal by one individual against this decision has been lodged with An Bord Pleanála and the outcome has not yet been determined.
