Mayor threatens Dáil march over hospice ‘scandal’

TERMINALLY-ill patients in Galway still have to travel to other counties, while beds in the local hospice remain empty.

The Galway Hospice has been unable to provide full services since a dispute began last May, involving allegations about the incorrect dispensing of drugs.

The city Mayor Terry O’Flaherty said locals would march to the Dáil if the “scandal” was not resolved. “This should never have gone as far as it did. It is not just affecting Galway, but people all over the West.”
