Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has said it is not true to claim that “taking a knife” to emergency services at Our Lady’s Hospital, Navan will improve healthcare services.

Speaking to a public meeting in Navan on Monday evening, Ms McDonald said that it’s possible to change the Government’s decision on the “downgrading by a thousand cuts” of Navan hospital.
