People Before Profit support Hospital Demonstration

The People Before Profit Alliance attended the demonstration held at Kerry General Hospital on Saturday 23rd of May.

Over 200 people turned out early Saturday morning to protest about the state of cancer care services for women, and the quality of services at the hospital generally.
This demonstration took place against the backdrop of possible removal of other acute services.

Remarkably, Fianna Fáil and Green councillors and candidates also attended (as if they were not fully paid-up members and supporters of the parties doing the removal of services).

But People Before Profit were also well represented and gave out a specific leaflet detailing our need to fight for the hospital.

Local press documented the event, which continued with a march into the centre of Tralee, and a moving testament to recovery from ilness and the need for services by a former cancer patient.
