Hospital Facilities
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-09
============================================================

Paul McAuliffe (FF), Dublin North-West

The use of rapid build is increasingly important in both housing and the delivery of infrastructure but it can pose a challenge at constrained sites. In my constituency, Beaumont Hospital is an increasingly constrained site, although it once had a lot of land around it. The Mater hospital, which is nearby, is beyond maximum capacity. The big challenge will concern how rapid build can be achieved at congested sites or in brownfield areas, where more turnkey or bespoke design is often required.
I thank the Minister for the answers he has given. It is important that we press on and continue to add capacity, as we have done over recent years.
