Opponents to hospital plan given chance to air views

OPPONENTS to a €40 million private hospital on the outskirts of Ennis will soon get an opportunity to voice their opposition against the plan in a public forum.

An Bord Pleanála yesterday confirmed it is to hold an oral hearing in relation to the plan by Pat Bonner and John Stack for the 100-bed hospital at Woodstock.

The board has yet to confirm when the oral hearing will take place.
