Written Answers. - Ardkeen (Waterford) Hospital.

I cannot give a precise date for the commencement of the construction of the new Ardkeen hospital but I intend to attend the signing of the contract documents by the South Eastern Health Board on 31 December next at Kilkenny. I expect that building work will commence early in the new year.
