The matter was raised with the PAC by Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath – he told the Dáil this afternoon that the Cashel hospital has been refurbished to be a 'patient free zone.
Earlier Labour’s Alan Kelly told the PAC he couldn’t believe it’s not being used to address the overcrowding in South Tipperary General.
Speaking on Tipp Today Independent Deputy Seamus Healy said he hoped the PAC investigation will serve to focus on the purpose for which the building was refurbished.
