Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Central Mental Hospital is in the full ownership of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland (CPW). The Health Service Executive (HSE) are in possession of the site and I believe that they will move this facility to Portrane in the future.

Once the HSE vacate the site a decision will be made by the CPW on its future use having regard to the requirements of all other state bodies.
