Kilmaley Councillor Tom McNamara was elected into the role last evening, and says the body shouldn't be allowed to make negative findings against a health service provider without also provide a solution or alternative.
He says his top priority while in the position of Chairperson will be to campaign for Ennis to be declared as a level 3 hospital, which would result in the restoration of an A&E service.
