TD: Months before flood-hit hospital will be fully restored

There are calls for the Health Service Executive to outline a time scale and implementation plan regarding the restoration of all services at Letterkenny General Hospital.

It follows serious flooding at the hospital two weeks ago.

A major clean up operation has continued at the facility after three feet of water gushed in to the premises.

Donegal Fianna Fáil Deputy Charlie McConalouge said he wants to see the services fully restored.

He said: "A time-line and an implementation plan, as well as an implementation management group, should be put in place now to make sure that everything is co-ordinated and the massive task of getting the hospital back to its full strength happens in the best possible time frame.

"We do know that it will take months for the hospital to be fully restored to what it was before the flooding two weeks ago."
