Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

This is a matter the Deputy and I have discussed, and on which the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, engages with me probably on a weekly basis. There was a delay that I and none of the Wexford representatives are satisfied with. I have intervened. We are looking at a rapid-build process, which the Tánaiste referenced earlier. We are all aware that it takes too long to put these essential builds in place. I am working with colleagues across the Government and with the HSE to see not only what beds we can put in place but how we can do it quicker than the normal process would allow for, for the very reasons the Deputy has outlined.
