Planning Permission for Nenagh Hospital Development

Posted on February 02, 2015 by Alan Kelly

I can confirm that planning permission has been granted for significant works at Nenagh Hospital.  


On January 8, 2014 I announced €2.2m in funding for a new medical wing in Nenagh Hospital, planning permission has been granted for this building work.   The work will go to tender in the near future.  This is a complete new build and will contain 16 new modern single room units.
