WORK ON a €22 million extension to Letterkenny General Hospital is expected to recommence in weeks. Work at the site ceased in November when McNamara Construction went into receivership.
Most of the work on the extension – a three-floor, 72-bed medical unit and emergency department – is already complete.
The “expeditious completion” of the new wing of the hospital remained a priority for the HSE, a spokesman said.
“The HSE is advancing legal and financial discussions with the McNamara bondsman for the completion of the hospital works. The bondsman has made certain proposals to the HSE, which are now being costed and considered at a detailed level. Once the final agreement has been reached with the bondsman, it should be possible for the works to recommence within a matter of weeks,” he said.
