The Seven Springs Daycentre has been closed since March of 2020 with the onslaught of Covid. The Daycentre was a place where people from the surrounding areas could come together chat, listen to music, get their hair done, get checked medically, see a chiropodist etc. But in talking with users, the abiding positive of the Daycentre was getting out from home and getting to socialize with other people. Following a protest attended by past users, their friends, family members and local representatives Geraldine Donohue and Declan Kelly the Daycentre was opened one day a week for a reduced number of users. There is huge disappointment that the service has not opened fully. Today I talk to Ciaran Cannon TD, Sean Canney TD and Geraldine Donohue county councilor to see where we are.
