MS Ireland care centre set for reopening next week

THE 12-bed MS Ireland care centre in Dublin should reopen to multiple sclerosis sufferers and their families next week after being closed for over a week.

MS Ireland has said the closure of the service is not related to the recent resignation of its chief executive, Graham Love, and that the closure was due to staff training aimed at making recommended improvements to the quality of the service. Up to 40 people are employed at the Rathgar premises.

MS Ireland spokesman Sean O’Riordan said Mr Love, who worked for the multiple sclerosis advocacy group for two years, resigned for personal reasons.
