Protesters To Highlight Issue of Lack of Cath-Lab Facilites At Waterford Hospital
Thousands are expected to march on the Dail this lunchtime over Cath-Lab facilities at University Hospital Waterford.
It follows the recent death of Thomas Power, who suffered a heart attack on Father's Day last month, while being transferred by ambulance to Cork.
His death re-ignited community calls for a 24 hour Cath-Lab for Waterford.
Hilary O'Neill of the South East Patient Advocacy Group is calling on people from across the entire southeast region to travel to Dublin and converge on the Dail.
