Ms Susan Mullins:

I think most of the contributions from members have been overwhelmingly positive and supportive and I have been quite blown away. It is lovely to hear that but it is also sad to hear about other towns that are in a similar position to us. I cannot recall any specific questions apart from those relating to liaising with the HSE and the health committee. That has been done but we need to ramp it up. This committee was our final port of call, from what I could see. We are at the end of the road here and there has been a bit of stonewalling. It felt like a fait accompli, so it has been fantastic to be able to raise the issue with this committee and to hear from people outside and others who have a similar story. It does not just affect us but goes across the board.
