Mallow Hospital’s enemy now is a Soviet-style HSE

IT is a source of great consolation to see the defence of the Bastille that is Mallow General Hospital once again led by a Sherlock.

On this occasion it is Seán, the articulate and clever son of a father who fought on his back for the cause.

There is a subtle difference on this occasion more than 25 years on. The assaulting force now is much better prepared and armed that its predecessors.
