Frank Feighan responds to HAC

Shannonside FM Radio report: Roscommon South Leitrm TD Frank Feighan responded to the Hospital Action Committee following the TV3 interview last week where he spoke of how his decision to vote with the Government to close Roscommon's A&E led to a threat to his life. Deputy Feighan says threats were made the night before as well as on the day of the vote where he says there was an element in the crowd that did NOT have the interests of the hospital at heart.
• He also says he reported a specific incident of a man threatning to 'put a bullet in his head' to the Gardai but the issue was later resolved after the man apologised.
• The Roscommon TD said HAC Chairman John McDermott was not with him at all times on the day of the vote, and he adds he is happy to furnish Mr McDermott with the name and address of the man who threatened him, if he wants to.
