Paul Kehoe

Question:

207 Mr. Kehoe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the purchase cost of Ionad Foláin Centre, Myshall, County Carlow to the State initially; the plans the health board have for its use; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26406/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O’Malley)

As the property in question was purchased by the Office of Public Works on behalf of the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform, my Department does not have details of the purchase costs.

The South Eastern Health Board has set up a group to look into the potential uses of the land and buildings at Myshall. My Department is currently awaiting a copy of that group's report.
