HSE warned Loughrea campaigners will not give up fight to restore day centre

The HSE is being warned that campaigners in Loughrea are not giving up their fight to restore the Seven Springs Day Centre. 

The purpose-built centre has been closed to provide more space at St. Brendan's Community Nursing Unit. 

The centre is to be relocated to another building on the site - which campaigners say comes nowhere near the same quality as the original centre. 

In the meantime, day services are being provided at the Loughrea Hotel, a move deeply unpopular with users and their families. 

A local petition has gathered almost 2,500 signatures and there's been a number of protests over the past year. 

Chair of the Concerned Citizens Group is Mattie Quinn.
