75% feel Kenny misled public on Roscommon hospital, poll finds

THREE out of four people believe the Taoiseach misled voters in Roscommon on the hospital issue during the election campaign, a poll has indicated.

In a Newstalk listener survey 75% of respondents said they believed Mr Kenny had misled the people of Roscommon.

Mr Kenny promised during the campaign that A&E services at the county hospital would be maintained if Fine Gael were returned to power — only for the Government to shut the unit last week.
