Family demand answers as patient killed while walking to takeaway

THE family of an in-patient at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick has called for an inquiry into how he was knocked down and killed just a few hundred metres from the facility’s entrance on Monday night.

Michael Doran, 69, from Templemore, Co Tipperary, died as a result of injuries sustained when he was struck by a vehicle in Dooradoyle, Limerick, at about 7.45pm on St Stephen’s Day.

His relatives yesterday expressed anger and frustration at the lack of information provided by the HSE about the circumstances of his death.
