Planning permission is being sought for a new Midlands Regional Family Hub in Athlone.
Des Nally is seeking the change of use of an existing seven bedroom B&B at Dun Riada, Bonavalley in Athlone to a family hub.
The centres offer families a range of services and supports including childcare, parenting support, health advice, and financial guidance.
The application seeks the change of use and the inclusion of 2 additional bedrooms, reception area and a children's play area.
County planners are set to decide on the issue in July.
