A BLOW for Clondalkin as new primary health care facility faces further delays.

An agreement was reached in 2015 between The Department of Health on a transfer of lands at Collinstown Community College.

Planning permission was granted in 2018 for the construction of a two-storey primary healthcare centre and a single-storey multi-functional space in the grounds of Collinstown Park Community College in Rowlagh, Clondalkin.

Sinn Féin TD for Dublin Mid-West, Mark Ward said this delay is ‘unacceptable’.

“The provision of a state-of-the art primary health care centre is needed in North Clondalkin.

“It is now 2021 and not a sod of earth has been turned on the site, despite, planning permission, the fire safety cert and the disability access certificate all being granted.

“It seems to me that two arms of the state are delaying much needed services to the people of North Clondalkin.

“These are much needed services that the people of North Clondalkin are crying out for.”
