The New Carrick-on-Shannon Primary Care Centre has opened early to help in the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines in the area.
The newly constructed centre behind the Landmark Hotel in the town is scheduled to open for all services from next month.
Construction on the multi-million euro facility began in 2019 and it was originally due to open last year, but had been delayed by the pandemic.
