Officially Refused as IPAS Centre.
Rathcabbin Concerned Residents wish to inform you that St. Kieran’s Nursing Home Rathcabbin has officially been refused as an International Protection Accommodation Services Centre by the Government. This provides our community with positive reassurance for the future of our community nursing home. As we welcome this announcement we would like to thank all in the local community who came out to support and stand together for the future of our community over the last number of months. Your support has been much appreciated and attributed to the success of the positive outcome we achieved in preventing our nursing home becoming an IPAS centre. Well done to all.
