A Laois-Offaly TD says the onus is on our Oireactas members involved.
The retention of the emergency department at Portlaoise Regional Hospital needs to be secured in a new Programme for Government.
Sinn Féin's Brian Stanley says the plan put forward in 2017 to close it has never been replaced.

Deputy Stanely is calling on the four midlands Oireachtas members involved in government formation talks to get a solid commitment on Portlaoise ED:
