Construction of Fethard primary care centre to start in June
Construction on the new Primary Care Centre in Fethard is due to start by June.
The primary care centre will be co-located on the existing Fethard Town Park Campus with sports facilities, walkways and café.
Senator Garret Ahearn, on the site on Monday, confirmed the announcement of Government funding and a June start for the project.
“The opening of a primary care centre in Fethard will be a first-class facility for health in the area with access to a range of quality health services for the local people. It will have a significant impact on the people of Fethard and the surrounding area, because people are able to have their healthcare needs met closer to home,” said Senator Ahearn.
He met with local GPs who will be moving into the new Primary Care Centre once complete.
“This is an exciting move forward for health services in the area, the community deserves nothing less and we are looking forward to the move to Fethard Town Park in the near future,” said Molly Owens, Fethard GP.
This announcement comes on the back of the announcements to locate the Regional Centre of Excellence for Tipperary Football and Munster Rugby on the Fethard Town Park Campus.
