IN DONEGAL TOWN & SURROUNDING AREAS
Primary Care Centre approved for Donegal Town
Local architect part of Public-Private Partnership for major development William Donoghue & Associates Ltd of Mountcharles and DHM Developments Ltd have been awarded the contract for delivery of a new Primary Care Centre for Donegal Town in a Public-Private Partnership with the HSE. The site for the Primary Care Centre is located adjacent to the existing Donegal County Council Public Service Centre at Drumlonagher as shown in the photo below. In addtion the site has previously been granted full planning permission for a Nursing Home development and also for the Supermac’s Plaza development, which is under construction at present.
Donegal Town and its environs will soon have the benefit of a state-of-the-art Healthcare Facility. Primary Care refers to all of the health and social care services which are typically available in the community outside of a hospital. The centre will include GPs, Public Health Nurses and a vast range of other services whilst providing a single point of contact to the health care system in a modern state-of-the-art facility. William Donoghue & Associates Ltd have been awarded the contract to design the centre. Both construction and operation of the centre will be tendered to the local area creating a significant number of jobs.

The wider economic benefits to local businesses and the community at large will be immeasurable. The project is in the early design stage at present; however, speaking with the Eye on Donegal this week, William Donoghue said, “You can expect to see a planning application lodged in the coming weeks.” The site at Drumlonagher, which has long been intended to provide services to the local area, is now taking a significant step in the deliverance of that vision. This will ensure that Donegal Town and surrounding areas will be provided with the services that an expanding town requires.
