Committee on Public Petitions

Consideration of Public Petition to Reopen Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion

Ms Noeleen Moran:

The reports back are that if you can get in there, they are fantastic services, but they run only from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., so if you have a sick child in the middle of the night, they are not an option. It is the same with the local injuries unit, and it is the same for Nenagh as for Ennis, as for St. John's. The hours work the same. They are absolutely brilliant services but they are not properly resourced or staffed and cannot operate 24-7.
