At present long term care is due to end next year as the current building will not meet new HIQA standards.

Speaking to Tipp FM after the meeting Minister Butler said it’s a case of wait and see if funding can be secured.

“It was a really, really positive meeting.”

“I suppose they have left me know in no uncertain terms how important Dean Maxwell is to Roscrea and how important the long term residential beds areas well.”

“So certainly I was delighted to meet with them and delighted to hear all they had to say in relation to Dean Maxwell.”

“We are very hopeful that there will be funding in the National Development Plan which will be announced on the 17th and there may be funding in that towards health projects so we’ll have to await the outcome of that.”
