Ms Anna Cronin:

We were very heartened when we read the Connacht Tribunelast week because the first few columns said that the HSE was going to review it. Our hearts lifted, and we said that this sounds very hopeful, that the HSE is actually listening to us and is reconsidering its situation. There was column after column and then we came to the final paragraph in the Connacht Tribune, which directly contradicted all that had been previously said. It said that the HSE was now going ahead to develop the old workhouse. It was a direct contradiction that had come from the HSE, and which was printed in the Connacht Tribune. It actually did not make sense.
