The construction of the new Celbridge Primary Care has commenced. I was invited to do the official “sod turning” on Friday, September 25th. The jobs created during construction will be 150 approximately. This will assist the local economy and be great for this area of Kildare North. Once complete there will be a significant number of permanent and temporary posts created.

Celbridge and the surrounding area is in need of a Primary Health Care Service and once completed this will provide the public with access to required health services. Celbridge Primary Care is been developed and delivered by Clarington Properties. It is important to acknowledge that without the private sector this service would not be delivered and they are leading the way in creating jobs, stimulating the economy and been innovative in delivering much needed services. We need to do more to support business and assist them as they work to grow the economy.

We all look forward to seeing this project completed over the next 18 months. I want to wish all involved the very best in the time ahead.
