No danger whatsoever for Portiuncula A&E says FG councillor

“THERE is no danger whatsoever of Ballinasloe’s Portiuncula Hospital A&E being shut down.” This was the reassuring message from Portiuncula staff member and member of the Ballinasloe Municipal District Council (MDC) Cllr Michael Finnerty when that body met for their July meeting.
The Fine Gael member of Galway Co Council was adamant on the matter and after reassuring the members that he had every confidence in the facility remaining open, he took no further part in the debate, explaining that fears were unfounded.
However, some of his colleagues remain concerned and have called on local TDs and Minister to move as quickly as possible to get an assurance that the facility would remain open
