    I think this is an extremely backward step. If successful, it would mean A&E services without the full range of equipment/skills necessary. It would be far better to campaign for local clinics that could deal with minor issues, without clogging up the A&E in UHL. Use the other hospitals as step down facilities to free beds in UCH for those who need them.

    Yes I am fully aware that some parts of west Clare are a long way from Limerick. Rather than reopening Ennis A&E, why not campaign for a proper Air Ambulance?

    Agreed. UHL have a brand new facility that should be able to serve Clare people quickly and efficiently. Government/HSE need to fix the management practices and other problems that are causing these queues not open more A&E's cos that's only moving the problems elsewhere.

    Bit sick of every Clare councillor election candidate putting A&E reopening on their campaign policy like they're somehow going to get that done!
