Protest to be held Leeside over the ownership of the new National Maternity Hospital
The protest is part of a nationwide campaign and will be held outside the CUMH at 3 o'clock
Campaigners are concerned over the ownership of the hospital by the Sisters of Charity and say it should be free from the control of the church.
Calls have been made to the Minister of Health to explain the ownership of the hospital and last night the Board of St Vincent's Healthcare Group says it plans to review the status of the project.
Speaking to RedFM News Sinead Halpin Social Democrat for Cork North East says hospitals should be publically owned
