Three GP practices given more time to leave centre

Three GP practices, which have been operating without planning permission in a Kerry medical centre, will have moved out by the end of next month.

Under an enforcement order issued on Oct 10, the GPs were to vacate the Prime Medical Centre, in Killarney, by Jan 11, but further time was required to facilitate a return to their former surgeries.

Town clerk Michael O’Leary told Monday night’s Killarney Town Council meeting two separate items of correspondence had been received from Sunday’s Well Properties Ltd, developers of the medical centre, and Dr Gary Stack, stating that the second floor would be vacated by the end of February.
