Rebel TD joins ranks opposed to €250m co-location plan

REBEL Fianna Fáil TD Ned O’Keeffe joined the growing ranks of opponents yesterday to plans for a €250 million co-location hospital on the grounds of Cork University Hospital.

The outspoken TD, opposed to his government’s policy of co-location, said he backed the stance taken by Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin against the Beacon Medical Group’s plans to build the 185-bed five-storey private hospital at CUH.

“I am opposed to co-location, in principle,” he said.
