GPs appeal €2m development levies for medical centre

LOCAL doctors behind a new medical centre proposed for Killarney are appealing against a demand for almost €2 million in development levies.

Killarney Town Council wants GPs to cough up €1.5 million and €400,000 for two new roundabouts which lead to the medical centre in the grounds of St Finan’s Hospital.

But the GPs argue the levies are excessive and have lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála.
