Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children his plans to provide capital funding for the development of the National Centre for The Visually Impaired at Grace Park Road, Drumcondra and in particular to provide residential places for girls who are visually impaired, who have been without service since the closure of St. Mary’s school in Mount Merrion in September 2003.

My Department is currently considering what new capital projects can be progressed nationally this year. The National Centre for the Visually Impaired project at Grace Park Road, Drumcondra, to which the Deputies refer, will be considered in this context in liaison with the Eastern Regional Health Authority.
