Question:

174 Mr. Deasy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if the South Eastern Health Board has sought funding under the national development plan for the provision of new accommodation at Mary Street, Dungarvan, County Waterford, to replace the present archaic community welfare office; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28086/04]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

My Department has not received a proposal from the South Eastern Health Board for the provision of new accommodation at the community welfare office in Dungarvan. The question of providing new community care facilities in Dungarvan would, in the first instance, be a matter for the South Eastern Health Board.
