Dublin protest over health service

Dublin- A major demonstration calling for a better public health service is taking place in Dublin today. The march and rally is being held by an umbrella group of health unions and patient campaign bodies. Organisers say they expect 70,000 people to attend.

Today's demonstration will involve the Dublin Council of Trade Unions, medical and nursing organisations and families affected by the superbug MRSA. Organisers say they are expecting people to travel from all over the country to take part in the event, which gets underway at 3pm at Parnell Square. The march is taking place against a backdrop of criticism of the Health Service Executive. Yesterday the IMO described the HSE as an 'administrative monster'. But the HSE rejected the claim, saying it was all too easy to castigate health administrators.
