Doctor removed as Shannondoc chair after accusing health officials of spreading fear

A spokesperson for Shannondoc confirmed that Dr Pat Morrissey is no longer its chairperson or a member of the board.

A doctor in Limerick has lost his position as the chairperson of Shannondoc after he delivered a speech at an anti-lockdown rally, where he accused health officials of spreading “fear”.

Dr Pat Morrissey, who operates a clinic in Adare, said the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) is “completely out of touch” and “should be scrapped”.
