Petition Demanding Immediate Acquisition Of Land For Clare Hospital And West Clare Perspective On Raheen Land Acquisition
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
There’s been strong reaction across County Clare this week after the government confirmed the acquisition of the 43-acre site in Limerick, rather than in Clare, with a view to developing a new hospital campus aimed at tackling overcrowding in the Midwest.
A new petition is now calling for land to be acquired for an acute hospital in the Banner County — and for accountability from the Health Minister.
Alan Morrissey spoke with Deirdre Culligan, the woman behind the petition to find out just how the decision to put a new hospital in Limerick could affect Clare people, he also spoke with Kilkee Resident, Cillian Murphy, to hear how West Clare residents are reacting to the news.
