A woman who travels a 180km round-trip from Glengarriff to Cork city for medical treatment has called for a full neurological service to open at Bantry Hospital.

Ruth O’Brien has multiple sclerosis (MS). She is one of many patients in West Cork facing long journeys to Cork University Hospital (CUH) despite living near a hospital.
