Protestors block Varadkar's car at Limerick hospital

Protestors were removed by Gardaí after they blocked the Minister for Health's car as he arrived at University Hospital Limerick to open a new €40m critical care block today.

As 17 people lay waiting on trolleys inside the hospital's Emergency Department, protestors organised by the Anti Austerity Alliance, told Leo Varadkar that the Government had left the accident and emergency department like a "crime scene".
