Gearoid Buckley
LABOUR Party town councillor for Bandon, Gearóid Buckley, has expressed concern and disappointment at the news of the imminent closure of Millbrook Hospital. The closure comes as a result of a HSE/HIQUA audit. It has been confirmed that it will not re-open as a functioning hospital.
Cllr Buckley said, “The Millbrook Hospital has served the town of Bandon for generations. Many Bandonians were actually born in the hospital. Up to quite recently the hospital offered a range of health services including an X-Ray department. However, in the past few years it played a highly valuable role as a nursing and convalescent home.
“The loss of this vital facility is very disappointing for the local community. The current patients will have to be allocated beds in nursing homes...

The Department is currently considering an assessment of needs for water and sewerage services. This process has been ongoing since last October.
“It is now time for the Department to complete these assessments without further delay, and to sanction the necessary funding to start this project. It is time that this scheme was given the priority that it deserves.

LABOUR Party Senator for Cork South-West, Senator Michael McCarthy, has called on the Minister Martin Manseragh to immediately sanction funding through his Department so that the much-needed extension to Kinsale Community School can go ahead.
Senator McCarthy was speaking during a visit to Kinsale by Minister Manseragh.
“The Community School is the only second level school in Kinsale and has an enrolment of nearly 700 pupils. There has been a huge problem with lack of space for years, and this extension is long over due.
“This is a ludicrous situation. Investment in education is critical to Ireland’s future. The Minister needs to act now and provide funding for this project.
Senator Michael McCarthy continued, “The Minister also needs to take action in relation to...
