Citizens' Assembly
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-29
============================================================

Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

I am taking this matter on behalf of the Minister for Health, who asked me to thank the Senator for raising the issue and welcomes the opportunity to provide an update to the House on this matter.
With regard to the HSE clinic building at Camolin, County Wexford, which is a former health centre that is currently vacant, this is a detached building on its own site that is owned freehold by the HSE. In line with the ongoing Government initiatives in respect of sourcing suitable properties for use in the provision of accommodation under Housing for All, and also as part of the Ukrainian accommodation response, the HSE has offered the site to the Land Development Agency, local authorities and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The Department of Health and the HSE acknowledge the urgent and important work done in conjunction with other Departments and bodies to source properties suitable for providing accommodation and will continue to contribute to efforts to address the current urgent policy imperatives supporting Housing for All, in addition to the provision of accommodation to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Ireland.
