Amputee ‘has to bathe in sink’

AN elderly amputee is being forced to wash his leg in a kitchen sink because of delays installing a special shower.

Kevin Foley, 72, who lives in a council house on Boye’s Street on Cork’s northside, pleaded last night with the city council to prioritise his case.

“My local health nurse put my name forward for a wheelchair accessible shower last June,” Mr Foley said.
