It's after the Oireacthas Health Committee, on which sits Kildare North Fine Gael TD, Bernard Durkan, heard yesterday the project would be completed in December 2023 and open in the second half of 2024.
Kill based BAM is the main contractor.
However, Dr Roisín Healy isn't sure the facility will be ready by that date.
