Friends of St Luke’s fundraisers say they’re delighted planning has finally been lodged for a building to house a new MRI scanner.
However, they had hoped the project would be further along by now after securing their target of €250,000 to purchase the equipment last November.
Secretary of the charity, Barbara Schofield says the average scanner costs about €700,000 euro.
And she told KCLR News they’re still waiting on the HSE to put forward the rest of the money.
