There's continued uncertainty over the future of the former HSE health centre in Ballygar, which burned down in 2021.

At a meeting of the Health Forum West, Councillor Alan Harney wanted to know what the longer term plan is.

He asked that if it's no longer being considered for use as a health centre, it be transferred to the local community.

The HSE confirmed that no final decision has been made - but there was a strong indication it would not be suitable for future healthcare use.

Fine Gael Councillor Harney says its crucial the HSE take quick action to allow community groups acces the site.
