HSE Should Purchase Teagasc Office for Family Resource Centre
Issued : Friday 6 August, 2010
Areas : Dunmanway, Co. Cork
Labour Party Senator, Michael McCarthy, has written to the HSE to request that they actively look into purchasing the recently closed Teagasc office building in Dunmanway for the purposes of housing the Family Resource Centre.
Senator McCarthy said, ‘The closure of the Teagasc office in Dunmanway was a big loss to the town and the local farming community. The property is now on the market. I hope the HSE will see sense and purchase this building for the Family Resource Centre.
‘Currently, the Family Resource Centre is operating out of rented accommodation in the town but it deserves to have its own building. It provides a very important and valuable service to the community in Dunmanway. Property prices are now very competitive and it makes more sense for the HSE to purchase a home for the Family Resource Centre rather than to continue renting.”
