€2.3 million has been approved by the HSE for Disability Services across Co Cavan.
It's part of a HSE plan to provide residential accommodation in the community for residents of institutional congregated settings.
The priority to date has been on the purchase of houses in the community and the adaptation of these houses to suit the requirements of residents moving from congregated settings.
In Cavan, three residential dwellings were purchased and are being renovated in Kilnavara, Creighan, and Carrickaboy, with €2.3 million being approved for the three projects.
Edel Quinn is the HSE Head of Disability Services in the local Community Healthcare area.
She says good progress is being made with renovations and developments at the various properties, and adds that the Disability Services are working closely with colleagues in HSE Estates and Property Management to provide quality, bespoke homes to residents.
