asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether the proposals submitted to his Department by the Kilkenny County Board of Health in December last for the erection of a new county hospital at Kilkenny have yet been considered; and, if so, if he will state when sanction for the proposals will be communicated to the board of health.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - New County Hospital at Kilkenny.
The proposals in relation to the county hospital are under consideration. I hope to be in a position to communicate decision at an early date.
I am informed that tenders have been with the Department since the 15th December last. The delay in giving sanction, therefore, seems unreasonably long.
