Primary Care Centre For Arklow Faces Further Setback

Plans for the development of a primary care centre in Arklow have been further delayed.

A new planning application has been submitted to Wicklow County Council by the purchasers of the site at Castle Park, despite planning being granted for the project in January this year.

Action Health Enterprises, the company awarded the contracts to provide the facilities announced in April that it would be pulling out of the project.

Wicklow Sinn Fein TD John Brady has called on Minister for Health Simon Harris to explain why the project has stalled over a year after the original planning application was first submitted.
