I have informed the body which proposed to build a private hospital at Beaumont that I am not prepared to approve the making available, for the building of a private hospital, of any portion of the land acquired from Exchequer monies for the provision of the public hospital at Beaumont. I intend to take the same position in relation to any similar proposal.
