The family of Aoife Johnston have met with the Health Minister to press for a statutory inquiry into her death after waiting hours for treatment at University Hospital Limerick. The 16-year-old from Shannon died from bacterial meningitis on December 19th, 2022 after waiting more than twelve hours on chairs to see a doctor in the ED, despite presenting with an urgent GP referral letter querying sepsis.

Quiet Confidence East Clare Multi-Million Euro Schemes Will Come To Fruition 4:35

1 day ago4:35

Killaloe Municipal District is "quietly confident" its efforts to secure State funding for two major projects in East Clare will prove successful. It comes as Clare County Council has submitted a funding application for what are being described as "transformational" public realm regeneration and enhancement projects in Crusheen and Killaloe-Ballina. Funds are being sought for the reopening of Crusheen Railway Station as well as the development of a multi-purpose community enterprise hub and creche in the village. Additionally, an application has been submitted for public realm revitalisation in Killaloe-Ballina town centres including the transformation of the vacant Killaloe Courthouse into a cultural and musical venue. The applications have been made under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund which can make up to €1 million available to a local authority for the purpose of feasibility and project development works. As Killaloe-Ballina straddles the Clare-Tipperary border however, the application is a joint effort from both local authorities, meaning up to €2 million can be awarded for this project. Senior Coordinator of Killaloe Municipal District, Brian McCarthy believes they have a strong case. The Department of Rural and Community Development is expected to announce successful RRDF applicants by September of this year. After this point, should the East Clare projects be successful, further funding can be applied for to deliver the works. Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien says the investment would allow his hometown to become a more "sustainable community".…

It's claimed the number of patients transferred to University Hospital Limerick by ambulance last year has proved beyond all doubt that a new Emergency Department is needed in Clare.
