A Northern Ireland council’s “no brainer” plan to provide its HQ building for hospital expansion is to be made public as a matter of “priority”.
Newry Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) is currently based on Monaghan Row in the border city just yards from Daisy Hill hospital.
The council, which also has offices in Downshire Civic Centre in Downpatrick, is planning a £20m new-build in Newry city centre, which will create an opening for its old chambers to be acquired by the Southern Trust
