Politicians call to retrofit mental health facility at Owenacurra site

The Owenacurra Centre in Midleton.

A mental health facility in east Cork, set to be closed by the HSE, could be retrofitted instead to keep the service operating, politicians who visited the site have said.

The closure of Owenacurra mental health facility in Midleton, which offers residential care for people with significant mental health challenges, was announced in June.
