Primary Care Centres
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-15
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

As I stated, feasibility studies in respect of the site are progressing. The HSE will be tendering for the services of a design team to progress the proposed project to completion in the near future, subject to agreeable conclusion to the site purchase. The HSE advised that discussions with Dublin City Council regarding the proposed primary care centre were delayed due to the pandemic but have recently reconvened in an effort to conclude the site purchase from the council on terms agreeable to both parties. I understand the Deputy's concerns regarding this primary care centre. I have seen such centres in many other areas and know they are of great benefit. They make a significant difference to the areas in which they are located. I know Finglas and that the people of Finglas and the surrounding area deserve a state-of-the-art building such as this one. I genuinely believe the Government will progress it and that the funding will be there.
