Ferris calls for Kerry hospital commitments to be made public

North Kerry Sinn Féin TD Martin Ferris has said that any commitments that were given to independent TD Jackie Healy-Rae by Bertie Ahern on the future of Kerry General Hospital should now be made public.

He said while the conditions at Kerry General Hospital continue to worsen with the failure to re-appoint an A&E consultant, the closure of wards due to the lack of nursing staff, and reported surgery cancellations, people are entitled to know if commitments were given.
