It is expected that work will commence in the near future on a scheme to provide an additional 60 places at Cregg House, Sligo, for severely mentally handicapped boys and girls.
I have also approved of a further extension at this centre to provide accommodation for 100 adult mentally handicapped females and preliminary planning work has commenced in consultation with the Order.
