Martin to meet Waterford cardiologists over cath lab today

The Fianna Fáil leader will today be briefed on the need for a second cath lab at University Hospital Waterford.

The lab has been the centre of a dispute between Junior Minister John Halligan and the government.

Up to 2,000 people took part in a protest in Waterford last weekend calling for increased services at the hospital.

Cardiologists from Waterford will meet Michael Martin later today.
