Planning applications for a 25 million euro community hospital in Ennis are to be lodged before the end of this year.
The proposed 100-bed Community Nursing Unit would be situated on grounds adjacent to St Flannan’s College if given the green light.
The unit would include 88 single and 4 twin rooms, as well as 4 palliative care facilities, with funding earmarked under the HSE Capital Programme 2021.
