The Midwest Hospitals Campaign is criticising Clare politicians for what they say is ‘silence’ on proposals to bring Ennis’ emergency department back into full service.

Ballyvaughan-based advocate with the Midwest Hospital Campaign, Noeleen Moran, wants the proposal to be brought back into focus once more.
