New nursing home for Roscrea

The site for a new nursing home has been identified in Roscrea.

This has been described as the most viable solution to cover the services lost by the future closure of the Dean Maxwell unit, according to Sinn Féin’s Martin Browne.

Speaking to Tipp FM News, the Sinn Féin candidate said it’s thanks to businessman Tony Dolan who has offered a free site to the people of Roscrea.
