Visiting Committee Meeting
held
Members present:
30/11/'56.
Rev. Fr. Ransom, Adm.
(Chairman).
Ve ry Rev. Dean McFall.
Messrs. J. O'Leary, T.D., J. Howlin and T. Redmond.
A vote of sympathy to the relatives of the Rev. Francis F. Empey, deceased,
late Church of Ireland Chaplain to the Mental Hospital was passed unanimously on
the proposition of Fr. Ransom seconded by J. O'Leary.
The County Manager also
associated himself with the vote of sympathy.
copy of letter dated the 28th November, 1956 from the Department of Health
re roofs was read by the County Manager for the information of the members as follows:HI have been asked by the Minister for H9alth to refer to your letter of
2nd October, 1956 and enclosures regarding the repair of the roof over Division
6, Enniscorthy Mental Hospital and to state that the draft Specification and
Plan are generally in order; they have been discussed by Department's Technical
viser with your BOard's Architect aDd some minor amendments will be
incorporated in the final Drawings.
The question of the recoupment of the expenditure will be further considered
when an estimate of the cost of the work is received;
as the proposed work is
expected to give an indication of the probable cost of repairs to the roofs of
all the buildings it is considered desirable that a Schedule of Rates and/or
approximate iuantities should be prepared by a Q,uantity Surveyor.
I am
accordingly to re l uest you to be good enough to arrange for the submission of an
eStimate of cost of the work proposed."
The members agreed to re commend the appo intment of Mr. P. Mulcahy,
62, Merrion Sl uare, Dublin, as ql,uantity SurVeyor in connection with the proposed
work.
