The Cuisle Holiday Centre in Donamon could be reopened under a new local organisation.

The Cuisle Alliance, originally initiated by Deputy Denis Naughten along with a number of other public representatives and community volunteers, has decided to formally apply to the World Missionaries to have an interim 12-month lease for the Cuisle Complex.

If the initial lease is successful, a 25-year lease would then be sought.

The Alliance will also seek long-term funding to ensure the future of the centre.

Deputy Naughten a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes to put a new model in place that would continue to provide the respite that was available to Cuisle.
