The Health Minister Wicklow TD Stephen Donnelly has welcomed a decision by Wicklow County Council to grant St Catherine’s Adult Day Centre permission to relocate to their proposed new site in Kilcoole.
Council members unanimously agreed to the placing of modular units on lands attached to the Holy Faith Convent in the village.
The new 600sq metre facility will remain on the site for three years and should be in use by the middle of next year.
However, it is hoped the temporary structure will ultimately be replaced by three permanent buildings in the future.
The Day Centre caters for adults with special needs offering them a range of courses from cooking to gardening.
