Ceist:

240 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Health if he will allocate the necessary funding to provide for the development of the premises of the National League of the Blind in Ireland at 35 Gardiner Place, Dublin 1; if he will provide a day care centre for all blind people; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health (Mr. Howlin)

In common with other Members of the House, I have just received within the last few days details of the proposed development of a day care centre by the National League of the Blind.

I am arranging to have this examined by my Department in consultation with the Eastern Health Board.
