John Kelly (Labour) | Oireachtas source

The Government's amendment to the motion must have something for the people of Ballinasloe. I attended many of the meetings that took place in Ballinasloe and also several meetings with the Minister, and other meetings with Oireachtas Members and county councillors. There are grave concerns about the voting mechanism that selected the closure of the unit in Ballinasloe over Roscommon hospital. I will be the first to admit that, as I will not lie. I am deeply concerned about it.
