The site for Monasterevin Day Care Centre on Drogheda Street is currently in the final stages of refurbishment. The HSE has advised us that they are making every effort to complete the works at this site and are hopeful that they will have these refurbishments completed towards the end of Quarter 1 of 2025.

In the interim, Day Care services are currently being provided by Monasterevin Day Care Committee from the local GAA centre.

Once this site is operational it is planned that this site will be used by Primary Care services to provide services five days per week and part of the building will be licensed by Older Persons services to the Monasterevin Day Care Committee who will provide a day care and meals on wheels service from the building three days per week.
