Leitrim councillor to propose development of new childcare facility

A childcare facility should be developed in Carrick Business Campus, the old MBNA building.
That's according to local Fine Gael councillor Maeve Reynolds, who will make the proposal at Monday's meeting of Carrick-on-Shannon Municipal District.

The draft Carrick Local Area Plan commits to facilitating the development of more childcare facilities in the town.
Councillor Reynolds says a recent audit highlighted a serious shortage of creches in the area.

Carrick Business Campus is owned by Leitrim County Council, and efforts are ongoing to attract more business to occupy it.
Councillor Reynolds says a childcare facility would add to the campus.
