However, following a recent visit by the Health Minister it was found that the hospital is not being used, as not one patient was present.
Tipperary TD, Alan Kelly commented on the matter: “I visited this hospital with the Minister for Health, just to tell the committee, there wasn’t one single patient in the building.
“So it is not just the case of where did the €7m go, it’s a case of what is it being used for?
“Or what will it potentially be used for?
“While South Tipp General Hospital as we all know, is one of the biggest overcrowding situations in the country.”
The Public Accounts Committee is to query the HSE about the over-run of expenditure on the project.
