Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

While I agree with the Deputy, local issues that come up, including site selection and other questions like that, all delay the delivery of the different hospitals. We simply need to move forward with all of them in the most efficient way.
In Cork, the HSE is progressing that enabling package in advance of the main construction, including pitch and putt relocation, site clearance and demolition work, site access, roadworks and the planning applications to be submitted on a phased basis from September 2025 while work in Galway includes demolition and site clearance, with the planning application to be submitted in September 2025. That engagement with planning authorities is under way.
