Rehab News:Addiction clinic 'put my life back together', says ex-mayor

The Cuan Mhuire addiction clinic in Newry is to be closed to make way for a new motorway, to the dismay of one of its ex-patients.

Pat McGinn, a Sinn Fein councillor for Newry, has spoken out on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme on how the alcohol and drug addiction centre helped him get back on track.

Speaking on the experience of being an alcoholic, he said: "My family was living with a nightmare. I was taken in here unconditionally.

"The closure of Cuan Mhuire means the chance for broken lives to be repaired has been removed by this decision," Mr McGinn added.

Dilapidated buildings and plans for a new road have caused ministers to make the decision to close the centre.

The Forum for Action on Substance Abuse's representative Hilary Campbell Martin called the decision to close Cuan Mhuire "disgraceful".

She said: "The knock-on impact from this treatment centre closing is that we are going to expect some of the brunt of that."

The Southern Health and Social Care Trust and the Southern Health and Social Services Board said that they would be providing assistance and support to those currently living at the facility.
