McGrath threatens to resign over services

INDEPENDENT TD Finian McGrath yesterday threatened to resign in 12 to 18 months unless cancer services are comprehensively reformed.

The Dublin North Central TD, who struck a deal with Fianna Fáil in exchange for government support, said he was prepared to withdraw co-operation if the necessary services and resources are not put into place.

“The Government are aware of my position that I want to see the services rolled out very very quickly,” he said.
