The Minister for Public Health, Wellbeing and the National Drugs Strategy Hildegarde Naughton is in Cavan today to see how new services are improving quality of life for residents in the county.
She will meet with representatives from Cavan County Council and community partners involved in the delivery of a range of free services in the county.
In her first engagement in Cavan, Minister Naughton will visit Johnston Central Library to see a demonstration of the new 'Magic Table' by library staff. The Magic Table received €5000 in funding from Healthy Ireland and €6256 from Sláintecare Healthy Communities Programme. The Minister will then visit the new shanette at Cavan Leisure Centre known as the 'Community Hub' where the Minister will unveil a plaque and officially open the new community space.
Minister Naughton will then conclude her trip by visiting Cavan and Monaghan Drug and Alcohol Service in Drumnavanagh which offer a range of responsive, person centred and holistic support services to individuals, their families, and the wider communities. Minister Hildegarde Naughton says it's great to see the benefits of the funding allocated by her department being used at these facilities in Cavan.
