Councillors to protest how Southern Regional Health Forum operates

A group of councillors who are members of the Southern Regional Health Forum are planning a Dáil protest to highlight their disgust at the “pointless” manner in which it operates.

Fianna Fáil’s Joe Malone, a member of Kilkenny County Council, said every time he goes to a forum meeting, he asks himself: “Why am I here?”

He said: “We need to have more accountability. I am coming to meetings here every month and I am getting nothing.”
