I propose to take Questions Nos. 840 and 952 together.
The former Eastern Health Board and its successors the Eastern Regional Health Authority, ERHA ,and the Northern Area Health Board, NAHB, in conjunction with Ballymun Regeneration Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dublin City Council, proceeded with this development in the absence of my Department's involvement or approval. Consequently, my Department must conduct an evaluation of this project in terms of the criteria applicable to health capital developments. The Deputy will appreciate that a detailed examination of this development is a fundamental requirement for those who are accountable for approving it. Clarifications over scope, procurement procedures and funding must be resolved in this case.
My Department will continue to work closely with the ERHA to resolve the outstanding issues as quickly as possible.
