Election candidate Pat the Cope Gallagher said he is hopeful the Dunfanaghy Health Centre will be operation by mid-December.
Broadband services at the state-of-the-art building will be fully connected next week.
This splicing of the fibre optic cables to the centre will be completed by early next week, according to the Fianna Fail candidate.
This will provide the connectivity necessary for installation and commissioning of the necessary IT equipment to allow the health centre to open by mid December, prior to the Christmas break.
“The project is now thankfully nearing completion, and the much needed health facility for the Dunfanaghy areas will be open for the community to reap the benefits from in the coming weeks.
“It will be a welcome addition to the facilities available for the immediate area and will greatly improve health
access for all,” said Pat the Cope.
He acknowledged the dedication and hard work of local Councillor Michael Mc Clafferty in progressing this project in the past number of years.
