Deputy Smith stated that he has brought the issue to the new Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, and wants to see modern and adequate facilities in place as a matter of urgency.

Speaking to Shannonside Northern Sound he said the work has stalled since 2015 and he now wants to see construction begin.

While there have been moves in the past to implement these upgrades Deputy Smith says no one who has campaigned for these changes will be happy until building begins.
