Appeal against medical centre

THE future of a medical centre that serves more than 1,000 patients has been thrown into question.

Residents of Miltown Malbay, Co Clare, have lodged an appeal to An Bord Pleanála against Dr Maura O’Meara securing a two-year permission to continue operating out of her centre.

Since 2008, she has run her surgery from a residential estate on the outskirts of the west Clare village.
