HSE confirms new feasibility study for Killarney Primary Care Centre

Published

on

The Health Service Executive (HSE) has confirmed that it has begun a new feasibility study to identify a suitable site for a long-delayed Primary Care Centre in Killarney.

Cllr Marie Moloney received the update this week, with the HSE stating that both the Columbanus Hospital and Killarney District Hospital sites are now being assessed as potential locations.

In the statement, issued this week, the HSE said it “fully recognises the ongoing need for a Primary Care Centre in Killarney,” particularly following the setback linked to the Áras Phádraig planning application earlier this year.

The new study aims to determine “the most aligned and cost-effective solution on HSE lands” and to “build a purpose-built permanent facility that is fully integrated into the community healthcare network.”

The update marks the latest step in what has been a long-running effort to deliver a modern primary care facility for Killarney. The town has been without a dedicated plan for a centre since plans for Áras Phádraig were stalled due to planning complications.

While no timeline for the completion of the feasibility study has yet been given, the HSE confirmed it remains committed to delivering a “long-term, sustainable, purpose-built Primary Care Centre” for Killarney.
