It is estimated that the construction work on the Tallaght hospital will begin in 1989. The development is to take place on a phased basis. The first phase which will have about 450 beds is expected to be completed in 1992-93. It is not possible to state at this stage when exactly the hospital will be in a position to accept its first patient.
