He says it serviced up to 10,000 people in the local area.
A midlands councilor is branding the closure of a community welfare office in Laois as "disgraceful".
Fianna Fáil's Paddy Bracken says the office in Mountmellick serviced up to 10,000 people, offering appointments two days a week and house calls to elderly and infirmed people.
People will now have to travel to Portlaoise or Tullamore to avail of the service which he feels is unacceptable.
The Mountmellick rep say it's imperative the facility is reinstated in the area:
