Speaking on the announcement last spring that the development and refurbishment of Monasterevin Day Care Centre had finally been approved, with funding to follow in 2017 Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley said “This news was welcomed, however 6 months on, I am anxious that work gets underway soon.
I raised this with the HSE and they have promised that the Day Care Centre will be kept on track and will be moving to the next stage shortly.
They stated that they are in the process of finalising the design team and that “the design process should be well advanced by the end of this year.” They also confirmed that “funding for construction has been approved for 2017.
The HSE expects to have commenced construction on site by the third quarter of 2017 and this should be completed early 2018.
This Day Care Centre is badly needed in the South Kildare area and for my part as a TD I want to ensure that there are no hold ups with this project and plans go ahead as promised.”
