Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 January 2024
319. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Health the current position regarding the future use of the Saint Finan's Hospital site and buildings in Killarney; what recent approaches have been made to the HSE regarding the property; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2273/24]
View answerAs the Health Service Executive is responsible for the management of the public healthcare property estate, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to you in relation to this matter.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
