Councillors tell Kenny and Reilly to apologise

THE Taoiseach and Health Minister should make a public apology to the people of Roscommon, rebel Fine Gael councillors have demanded.

With the bitter war of words over the down-scaling of services at Roscommon Hospital showing no signs of abating, two Fine Gael county councillors quit the party in protest.

Dominick Connolly and Laurence Fallon said they were leaving the party in disgust at Enda Kenny’s failure to stick to general election pledges regarding the hospital’s future.
