Electrical connections delaying completion of major Mayo town building
“Handover to the HSE is likely to be delayed as the building is not connected to the mains electricity supply and the ESB is yet to confirm a date for the connection works.”
Delays in the connection of the mains electricity supply is delaying the completion and opening of the primary care centre in Ballyhaunis, according to the Health Service Executive (HSE).
“Construction is ongoing and the developer has confirmed main building works will be completed by the end of 2025,” the HSE said in a statement to this column.
“Handover to the HSE is likely to be delayed as the building is not connected to the mains electricity supply and the ESB is yet to confirm a date for the connection works.”
The statement added: “Testing and commissioning of the building's mechanical and electrical systems cannot be completed without mains power. The HSE can commence fit out/equipping once the main building works are completed with orders to be placed late 2025 into early 2026. It is therefore expected there will be some overlap in the fit out and testing/commissioning with the aim to open the centre in the first quarter of 2026.”
Builders at the site recently told the that two months’ work remains on the project.
