The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Public Petitions will meet tomorrow, Thursday, February 9 to resume consideration of a petition to Save St Brigid’s Hospital in Carrick-on-Suir.
The meeting at 1.30pm in Committee Room 4 of Leinster House will discuss the ‘Save St Brigid’s Hospital petition with representatives from the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Martin Browne said the petitions calls for the reopening of St Brigid’s Hospital in Carrick-on-Suir, which was closed by the HSE in 2020.
"St Brigid’s provided much-needed respite, convalescence and hospice services for people in Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny.
“The Committee previously heard from members of the Save St Brigid’s Action Group about the impact of the closure and the ongoing campaign to reopen the facility. Members now look forward to hearing a response from the HSE representatives, led by Ms Kate Killeen White, Chief Officer of South East Community Healthcare.
“The Committee will also consider a number of other petitions.”
