THOUSANDS of protestors turned out in Ennis, Co Clare yesterday to take part in a demonstration against proposed plans to central­ise A&E services in the mid-west.


The protest was organ­ised by the Ennis General Hospital Development Committee with campaigners from Tipperary expected to take part. It comes on the back of plans by the HSE which would see the closure of A&E departments at both Ennis and Nenagh Hospitals from Monday week, while all night-time casualties in the affected areas would be sent to Limerick.
