Eilish Balfe the Labour representative for the Ratoath area has blasted the HSE over what she says are broken promises in relation to a derelict site in the village.
She told Meath Live,, ‘I was out with my five-year-old daughter, Minnie, and we went around the Jamestown loop and were met with a derelict site owned by the HSE which had loads of overgrown nettles coming onto the path.
‘I contacted the HSE and suggested they turn it over for use as a community park, and they said they would send someone out to clean it up but that turned out to be an empty promise, after a few months of silence I sent them an email with a petition signed by over 500 people asking the same thing but the reply we got was that they owned the site and still intended to build a Primary Care facility on it.
‘They were originally meant to build that twenty years ago and nothing happened, my gut feeling is nothing will ever happen they paid around €100,000 for it back in the day and it is worth multiples of that now
