Welcoming the news, Kerry Labour Deputy Arthur Spring said: “I am pleased to confirm that Caherciveen, Killarney and Listowel Community Hospitals have been included in this unprecedented investment package for public nursing homes today. The future of these public nursing homes is now secure as a result of this announcement, something which is very reassuring for those living in these homes and indeed their families throughout the county.”

It will be a massive benefit to the community and the families of people Attending the Hospitals
