Speaking to Beat news, local Councillor Michael Sheehan, says it's a very welcome development:
"The old one in the middle of the town was becoming to small to meet the needs of the modern service and modern professionals."
"I'm delighted to see a local company, Thorpe Engineering, awarded the €1.5m contract to build the new facility."
