Central Mental Hospital, Dundrum 

Talks are being held this week to resolve industrial relations issues delaying the opening of the long-awaited new national forensic psychiatric hospital in Portrane, north Dublin.

The Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) says there were “outstanding matters” that still have to be addressed—  but said there had been “positive engagement” with the HSE.
