GP price war anticipated as new practice slashes fees

A new medical practice in Killarney has slashed its consultation fees to what the doctors feel people can afford to pay.

Sparking excitement about a GP price war in the town, Dr Michael Moloney and Dr Michael O’Doherty are offering a cut-price consultation fee of €40 — up to €25 cheaper than other practices in the area.

Secondary school students will get a consultation for €25 at the Killarney Medical Centre, according to a large advertisement in the local press.
