Abbeyleix nursing unit action adjourned

An application by three residents of the Abbeyleix Community Nursing Unit for a High Court injunction preventing the HSE from closing the facility has been adjourned to early December.

Maureen Delaney (aged 89) Bridget O'Neill (aged 92) and Catherine Kelly (aged 93), who have been cared for at the Co Laois facility for the last number of years were last Friday granted permission by the High Court to challenge the HSE's decision to close the unit.
