    Waterford News & Star Tim Ryan, Oireachtas Correspondent Concern

    Waterford News & Star Tim Ryan, Oireachtas Correspondent Concern at lack of 24-7 cardiology service The lack of a full 24-7 cardiology service in the south-east was raised in the Dáil by Sinn Féin Deputy David Cullinane. He told the Taoiseach that Dr. Niall Herity was appointed to carry out an independent review of cardiac services there. “He did that work and reported on it,” he said. “Astonishingly, he recommended that all emergency cardiac services in the south-east would cease. The Minister for Health has said he will not implement that recommendation subject to a national review. I have put down several parliamentary questions to him. I have contacted the Minister several times. He is still not in a position to tell us when the national review will take place, who will do it, whether it will be independent, if it will be a departmental review and what will be its terms of reference.” Deputy Cullinane said the Taoiseach knew it is a very difficult, emotional issue for people in the south-east, which is the only region that does not have full 24-7 cardiology services. “Can the Taoiseach tell me when the review will take place, who will carry it out and when its work will be completed,” he asked. In reply, the Taoiseach said he could not tell the Deputy but would find out for him. Coffey condemns bed closures The recent announcement by the HSE in Waterford of the temporary closure of more than 16 beds in the Sacred Heart unit at Dungarvan Community Hospital was unacceptable, Fine Gael Senator Paudie Coffey told the Seanad.

This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006.

It has been claimed that the Water Services Acts of 2007 and 2013 prohibit the shareholders of Irish Water from disposing of their shares. However, we have now learned that this legislation can be changed by any Government. That is why it is important that the Government listen to Deputies on this side of the House and to the people, who are hugely concerned about the privatisation of our water.
