157. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the contacts that have taken place between his Department and Kerry County Council or the HSE/Department of Health or any other State agency in relation to the possible change of use of the St. Finan's Hospital building and site for housing provision for the people of Killarney; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11915/23]
View answerMy Department has not had any formal contact or discussions regarding the property referred to in the Question. Notwithstanding this, my Department is advised by Kerry County Council that the potential reuse of the former psychiatric hospital, St. Finan’s Killarney, for social and affordable housing purposes is under review by the Council in the context of its responsibility for developing social and affordable housing delivery pipelines under Housing for All.
