KELLEHER WELCOMES RESOURCE CENTRE FOR MAYFIELD


It was announced by the Minister for Health, Micheál Martin that he has sanctioned the development by the Southern Health Board of a combined Family Resource Centre and a Day Centre for Older People.

"I am delighted by the approval of the Minister for the combined centre for Mayfield. There has been intensive lobbying for such a centre in the area for sometime. The organisations involved have been doing tremendous work in the community over the years but the development of this centre will dramatically improve the variety of service available to the community."

"A design team will now be appointed to the project to plan a state of the art facility for Mayfield. The possibilities with this project lend to a very bright future for community support services for whole community."
