Written Answers. - Temple Street Hospital, Dublin.
101.
I expect to be informed soon of a decision by the heads of the religious orders responsible for the Mater and Temple Street Hospitals regarding the future arrangements for the governance and management of these two hospitals. I will then be in a position to establish a project team to plan the development and I will request the team to report to me quickly. While it is not possible at this stage to give the precise dates sought by the Deputy I can assure him that I am anxious that this project proceeds as quickly as possible.
