After some 60 years of community service, a Laois Towns health centre is being demolished.
The centre is in the grounds of St Vincent's Community Nursing Unit in Mountmellick.
Many generations attended it for the school dentist and baby development checks among other services.
The hospital is undergoing a €35m renovation.

It will see a new two storey block of 50 ensuite bedrooms for the residents, expected to be built by mid 2025.
Two more phases of construction are to follow, eventually offering 130 ensuite bedrooms, to bring the unit in line with HIQA patient standards.
