View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 212 and 213 together.
The Office of Public Works has agreed to make the former Whitehall Garda station available for the relocation of the State Pathology Office and to carry out the necessary refurbishment work. The project is being actively pursued in conjunction with the OPW and I understand that it is not currently possible to provide details of the costs that will be involved.
Expenditure for the past five years for the Office of the State Pathologist was as shown in the following table:
