Probe continues into legionnaires’ disease death

A MAN whose wife died of legionnaires’ disease while in hospital has heard nothing from his health board almost six months after the tragedy.

Mother-of-seven Eana Kiely, 61, died at Waterford Regional Hospital on April 27. She contracted the disease while in hospital. The long-awaited report of an inquiry into her death remains unpublished.

Her husband, Dr Eamonn Kiely, said that other members of the family are getting anxious about the report, given the length of time the probe has taken.
