An Coimisiún Pleanála granted permission for the hospice yesterday.
The delivery of the Midlands Hospice is long overdue, according to a Hospice Fundraising Committee in the region.
This comes after planning permission for the Midlands Hospice was granted by An Coimisiún Pleanála following a prolonged period of submissions, debates and appeals.
The new €24 million hospice is set to include 20 inpatient beds, Day therapy unit, Education Centre and car parking and EV charging facilities.
Committee member Veronica Larkin says this hospice has been needed for many years:
