Government broke election health promise, says PD Mayor

THE Progressive Democrat mayor of Waterford has urged the public to vote against the Government because of the lack of health services in the east.

The revolt by Oliver Clery follows the resignation of Fianna Fail city council member Mary Roche after she was told by the Government that a radiotherapy service would not be provided for the region.

Mayor Clery said he was ‘fed up’ of parties making commitments to the people at election time and not fulfilling their promises. But he said he would not be resigning. He said people would get their say at the next election.
