A local councillor vowed to continue to fight for the return of Birr s Midoc out of hours GP service, writes Karen O Grady.
This week, Cllr Clare Claffey noted it was two years since she met with the then Minister for Health, Simon Harris in Dail Eireann and presented him with the petition to restore the Midoc services in Birr.
The petition was coordinated and delivered by Cllr Claffey, Social Democratic councillor for the Birr EA after the Birr Midoc services shut its doors without warning earlier in April 2018. It was hand-delivered to Simon Harris, TD, with the help of Catherine Murphy, TD, co leader of the Social Democrats in April 2019.
