HSE 'examining' two houses in Midleton as potential solution to Owenacurra closure

Campaigners continue to highlight a 'lack of information' on the process of closing mental health centre and moving its residents

The Owenacurra Centre in Midleton was due to close last October.

The HSE is now “examining” two houses in Midleton to accommodate residents from a mental health centre that is being closed.

Residents at the Owenacurra centre in east Cork were told last June that the centre would be closed by October 2021 due to concerns about the standard of the building.
