People 'getting soaked in the rain' walking from parked cars to Sligo hospital

A Sligo councillor says some people visiting Sligo University Hospital are having to walk in the rain from Connaughton Road Car Park or from a distance in the hospital's own car parks.

Sinn Fein Councillor Thomas Healy says there's now a clear need for more parking spaces at the hospital because more people are using it.

And he adds that because of welcome new developments at the hospital, even more people will be using it in the future.

Cllr Healy is calling on the HSE to outline what's the current situation with plans for multi-storey car park as well as the provision of a safe set-down area specifically for the emergency department.
