Committee on Public Petitions

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

Ms Noeleen Moran:

Yes. We were campaigning on that this time last year, when we met every one of the health spokespersons from the various parties. That was something we were pushing, as was the extension of the ambulance protocol, which was being trialled only in Mallow at the time. That should be rolled out, but I think it was the CEO of UHL, Colette Cowan, who said that was not feasible due to staffing and bed issues. We should be able to get clarification on that. It was promised, it was announced, but it did not materialise.
