As Minister, I have set out my priorities for capital projects for 2026, with over €40m allocated to initiate and progress mental health infrastructure projects this year.
The funding represents another record level of investment in 43 separate mental health capital projects across the country, with annual investment set to increase further over the next four years.
I am also determined to drive progress to redevelop six priority Acute Mental Health Units in 2026 to provide an improved therapeutic and recovery-focused environment for people admitted for mental health treatment. This includes new and upgraded facilities at Roscommon, along with Waterford, Cork, North Dublin, Kildare and South Dublin.
I will publish a 10 year capital plan for mental health in the coming months to guide the long term vision for the transformation of the mental health capital estate, including the new unit at Roscommon.
As this relates to a service matter, it has also been referred to the HSE for direct reply to you.
