A planned primary care centre in Oughterard is still at least four years away.
In response to a query from Councillor Eileen Mannion, the HSE has confirmed the procurement process is set to begin this Autumn.

But it further adds that's subject to there being no delays regarding legal negotiations, site acquisition, funding, or planning permission.
