It's being reported that progress is finally being made as regards a major extension promised for St Joseph’s health facility in Longford town.
Former health minister Simon Harris unveiled the multi-million euro facelift for the community hospital campus when he visited the site in July of last year.
The new residential unit will include 43 beds as well as day rooms, dining rooms, as well as other facilities.
The upgrade had originally been promised almost three years ago - Councillor Peggy Nolan was concerned however, that it may have been under threat due to Covid 19.
She says though the former Health Minister Simon Harris played his part before he left office to see it over the line.
