Office of Tim O’Malley and Regional hospital picketed

A protest organised by local members of Sinn Féin was held last night at the office of Tim O’Malley, junior minister for health last night

The protest was to show objections to plans to build a private hospital on the grounds of the Mid-Western regional hospital.

The demonstration then moved on to the hospital.

According to Sinn Féin’s Maurice quinlivan, the protest went well with 20 people attending and over 1,000 flyers handed out to passing members of the public.

Despite the low turnout, Mr. Quinlivan told Live 95FM that support for their cause is out there.
