‘There’s no chance of the Monaghan town Primary Care Unit being built on time’

‘There’s no chance of the Monaghan town Primary Care Unit being built on time.’

That’s according to local Fianna Fáil Councillor Raymond Aughey.

It was confirmed in January that the new €9.5 million Monaghan town Primary Care unit will be provided on the St Davnet’s Campus in the town, as previous plans to build the unit at Monaghan General Hospital fell through following ‘unanticipated challenges.’

Monaghan County Council were told in a presentation by the HSE that the Primary Care Centre would be finished around 2020.

However Fianna Fáil Councillor Raymond Aughey says those plans are unrealistic.

He also anticipates more problems coming down the line.
