HSE and Centric Health to operate from Dún Laoghaire Shopping Centre

The HSE is to open a new primary care centre in Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre in December. To coincide with this, Sheehan Medical, a part of the Centric Health Group, will open a new GP clinic at the centre. Both practices will be based on the third floor.

The HSE primary care centre will operate under a 30-year lease taking 3,298 sq m (35,500sq ft) of space, while Sheehan Medical has signed a 25-year lease taking 795sq m (8,557sq ft) of space.
