The Health Minister has been requested to hold a special briefing for elected representatives in the MidWest. It follows the harrowing findings of inquests and investigations this year into the deaths of Shannon residents Martin Abbott and most recently sixteen-year-old Aoife Johnston at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick.
