My policy in respect of the new Dublin dental hospital is to provide replacement facilities for the existing Dublin Dental School and Hospital which are acknowledged to be totally unsatisfactory. Preliminary site development works for the project have been completed.
I am satisfied on present evidence and projections that the facilities to be provided and the total output of dentists proposed for Dublin and Cork will meet the requirements of the State for dentists in the future.
