Report into Patrick Walsh’s death is an insult, says TD

THE report into the death of 75-year-old Patrick Joe Walsh was an insult to his memory, independent TD Paudge Connolly declared yesterday.

Mr Connolly said it was unimaginable that people could investigate the circumstances of the death of the 75-year-old man and then come up with what amounted to the closure of Monaghan Hospital.

Mr Connolly said the Health Service Executive (HSE) was now effectively saying that people were better off without a service in Monaghan.
