Local Fianna Fáil Minister Darragh O’Brien has welcomed over €31.5m in funding for major healthcare developments in Swords and the wider North Dublin area, following the publication of the Health Service Executive’s (HSE) Capital Plan for 2025.
Minister O'Brien said the announcement reflects Fianna Fáil’s continued commitment in Government to strengthening healthcare delivery, supporting system reform, and ensuring more accessible care within communities. He said, “I was delighted to receive confirmation that €30.9m has been allocated under this year's Capital Plan to develop a Surgical Hub facility at Swords Business Park, which will serve the entire region. The Hub is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in November of this year. I understand that this will be followed by a short period of commissioning with the hub expected to become operational later this year or early next year. The facility will include two operating theatres and two minor. Funding has also been earmarked for procedure rooms including a recovery and post anaesthetic unit as well as associated support services and staff facilities. "In addition, €350,000 has been awarded for the development of a purpose-built High Support Community Residence in Swords, which will provide accommodation for residents relocating from Carlton House while an intensive support disability day service unit on Rathbeale Road will progress through design. “These projects are vital to the continued enhancement of health services for Swords and the wider region. They represent real, tangible progress towards a more responsive, better-resourced healthcare system, one that meets the growing needs of our communities. “I’ll continue to work to ensure these projects progress without delay.” Comments are closed.
