Scientologists' rehab centre in Meath remains 'committed' to opening
"Private rehab clinics are not subject to HSE or Hiqa inspections"
"Questions have been raised about whether a €9m residential drug rehabilitation centre linked to the Church of Scientology will ever open its doors, following major opposition from the local community."
"The controversial drug facility at Ballivor, Co Meath, remains unopened, almost four years after winning a legal battle with residents."
Private residential rehabilitation clinics are not subject to HSE or Hiqa inspections. A €9m residential drug rehabilitation centre linked to the Church of Scientology at Ballivor, County Meath, has faced sustained local opposition. The facility won a legal battle with residents almost four years ago but remains unopened. Major questions persist about whether the centre will ever open its doors. Local community resistance has been a central factor in preventing its operation. The regulatory exemption for private clinics and the ongoing community opposition have combined to leave the project idle despite legal clearance.
