943. Deputy Michael Murphy asked the Minister for Health to provide an update on the two level 2 palliative care beds at Cluain Árann, Tipperary town, County Tipperary; if the accommodation and associated facilities have been completed and are ready for occupancy; the date on which the beds became operationally ready; whether either bed is currently in use; and the reasons for any delay in bringing these beds into service. [74371/26]

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
