Committee on Public Petitions

Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir: Save St. Brigid’s Action Group

Ms Susan Mullins:

Moreover, the body has been very reluctant to engage in correspondence. Mr. Torpey had to go down the freedom of information route to get any information.

In regard to the committee of Save St. Brigid's Action Group, Mr. Torpey and I have been mostly in the background of the campaign, and he has done a great deal of paperwork. We submitted some documents where members will see correspondence, on which he has followed up. He has a background in health and safety and is a civil engineering technician. He was very on the ball in that respect. While I am very supportive of the action group’s campaign and it is close to my heart, I have not been involved in the committee. I am not sure of its exact structure or who, if anyone, is the chairperson. Councillor Dunne, who is attending this meeting, and other members of the action group will be able to answer all those questions.
