The clinic at the community centre in question was provided up to 30 August 2011. The premises did not meet health and safety standards and the number of customers attending for the service had reduced significantly. Accordingly, it was decided to withdraw the service from this location and a notice to this effect has been placed at the centre. Due to the current configuration of community welfare offices, and given current resources, it will not be possible to provide a service for these customers in Kilrush. However, the situation will be kept under review. Customers wishing to avail of the service can attend at the Resource Centre in Miltown Malbay between 11am and 12.30pm on Wednesdays or alternatively telephone the Ennis office on 065 6868074 and arrangements will be made to provide the required service should the customer not be able to attend at Miltown Malbay.
