While we remember the second anniversary of the death of Michael Cuddihy RIP this week, we are reminded of yet another family who are facing a difficult time.

We thank Carolyn, Niamh McNally's mother, for letting us know that Niamh's inquest is scheduled to take place at Kilmallock court house tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday.

Niamh was a young 16 year old girl from Bruff who died in UHL ED on 29th January 2024.

For more information on Niamh and her families harrowing experience at UHL please see link below

We will be thinking of Carolyn, O'Neill & McNally families in the coming days. 💔

The comments made by Joe Cooney on behalf of Oireachtas members are disappointing, they are not reflective of the urgent needs and wants of the people of the Midwest who have campaigned in their tens of thousands for decent hospital provision.

The people have waited 17 years for promises which were made in 2009 to be honoured. This delay has been at a huge cost to our health & wellbeing.

Joe Cooney spoke about having plans for “Option 2” (presume he means option b) in the next couple of years. That is not acceptable. We need immediate action, not another cycle of delays. He went further and suggested that he hopes “Option 3” (option c) might still be considered after Option 2 is delivered and running. This is completely out of touch with the scale and urgency of the crisis.
All three options must be prioritised now, not sequentially, and not at some undefined point in the future. We waited 18 months for the HIQA report. We cannot and will not wait any longer.

Another deeply troubling aspect is that County Clare was not mentioned at all in the recent discussions and documentation. Clare has endured 17 years of delays, dangerous transfer times, and the highest dependency on UHL, yet its name is absent.

It is reasonable to ask whether the Clare Oireachtas members who signed the document noticed this omission and if so, why it was allowed to stand.

The entire process and level of engagement raises questions about how seriously they are engaging with these issues. There has been no public consultation and a visible lack of inclusivity.

The absence of concerns about Clare
raises questions about how seriously they are engaging with these issues. If they did notice but signed anyway, it raises even bigger concerns about priorities and advocacy. Either scenario is unacceptable.

The people of Clare, have been clear, we need a functioning, safe, fair health service now. Our representatives must reflect that urgency, not dilute it or defer it. We expect full transparency, full inclusion, and full commitment to all three options being advanced immediately.

The time for half-measures and vague promises is long over.

A Shannon woman who was flagged at two Limerick hospitals for “sepsis”, but who was not given the prescribed medication in time, died from cardiac respiratory failure, a day after suffering a miscarriage, her inquest heard Thursday.

The TD for Dun Laoghaire and Rathdown and her constituents have many choices for cardiology and Emergency Department care in an hour and a half.
This is unlike the constituents of the public representatives surrounding her from Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary as illustrated here.

Carroll McNeill TD showing clearly how out of touch she is with the people of Clare and the wider Mid West region with her comments in this clip. She was at today to open the new 96 beds (which isn't 96 beds) block.
She is surrounded by TDs and Senators from the region and in particular from Clare, who stood and listened to her dismiss people from Clare and their very real and justified fears about health in the county.

Alan Kelly TD is not wrong.

⚠️We in the Mid West region have been discriminated against in terms of hospital services.

⚠️ People are afraid with good justification to be admitted to via the Emergency Department .

⚠️ Simon Harris TD 's response to Alan Kelly is insulting to the people of Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary.
He was the Minister for Health from 2016 - 2020. During that period, families from this Campaign and others were in correspondence with him regarding the trolley crisis and the overcrowding in .
He committed to end overcrowding which as we see from today's trolley figures of 107 in and the figures of the intervening years, he failed.

The people of the Mid West deserve better.
