I received death threat on hospital issue, says Government TD

Roscommon Fine Gael TD Frank Feighan has claimed that he received a death threat regarding the Roscommon hospital issue last night.

Deputy Feighan was speaking on Shannonside FM today about whether or not he feels compelled to resign in light of the Governments decision to close the A&E unit in Roscommon from next Monday.

"I have received numerous threats, I received a death threat last night," said Mr Feighan.

"I am dealing with the situation. I will not be bullied.

"A man who rang me said that he would put a bullet in my head last night."
