TUAM COUNCILLORS THREATEN TO PICKET DAIL OVER DELAYED HEALTH CAMPUS
Date Published: 01-Jul-2008
Tuam Town Councillors are threatening to picket the Dail over the delay in providing a health campus and ambulance base in the town.
The move was proposed by Councillor Paul O’ Grady at last night’s meeting of the town council.
Councillor Paul O’Grady said that after the summer recess the town council members should picket Dail Eireann.
He claims the local TDs were silent on Team’s proposed Health Campus and as a picket on the HSE meetings might be lost among other groups picketing he proposed that they protest outside Dail Eireann.
Cllr Gileesa Lane agreed with his proposal and she added they could ‘paper the walls’ of Tuam Town Hall with all the letters they had received from the HSE and the Government on the proposed health campus.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
