I propose to take Questions Nos. 76 and 130 together.
Representatives from my Department and the Health Service Executive have made a number of site visits to St. Bricin's Military Hospital to review the facilities and to consider the feasibility of the hospital being utilised for public health purposes. Following detailed consideration, the view is that St. Bricin's is not suitable for use as an acute facility. Further options in regard to the utilisation of St. Bricin's are being considered and my Department will continue to liaise with the executive and with the Department of Defence on the matter.
