Minister of State at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

I am informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that the development the Deputy refers to involves the design and construction of a new cell and gene therapy with clean room facility for Hi-Tech Health Laboratories within an existing building at Eastát Tionscail na Tulaigh, An Tulaigh, Baile na hAbhann, Co. na Gaillimhe. The facility will be licensed and is to meet all standards associated with Good Manufacturing Processes (G.M.P). I am informed that planning permission was not required for these internal works.
