HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Parents and Patient Advocates

Mr. Ollie Kelly:
I am getting a bit emotional. That is the pressure they are putting on the families. What we are trying to do here, and this is a common theme among all the families, is make sure that this does not happen to any other family, not only in the Portlaoise area but in Cork, Galway, Dublin and nationally. The people who were in charge of these health services must be held accountable for what happened, and they need to stand up and acknowledge that. Their inaction is just not good enough.
