It’s part of a national allocation of €1.33 billion.
Projects included in the plan for Donegal include the advancement of Letterkenny’s new Community Nursing Unit, a palliative care project at the Donegal Hospice and support for the development of Aseptic Compounding Units at Letterkenny University Hospital.
A number of other projects set to be progressed at Letterkenny University Hospital include fire safety upgrade works, an extension of the hospital’s laboratory, the reinstatement of Physio and OT accommodation that was dispersed due to flooding and repairs to the existing flat roof membrane and balcony spalling.
