Further surgeries at Sligo's Orthopaedic Theatre are cancelled this week.


It's in the wake of the latest issue to impact the theatre - this time a cracked window pane.

The week before there were issues with the air conditioning system in the theatre while previously a leaking roof also resulted in the postponement of surgeries.

It's estimated up to five surgeries per day have been cancelled for this week.

Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has reiterated that work is progressing regarding long-term improvements to the orthopaedic theatre with the appraisal options now completed.

Fine Gael Cllr Thomas Walsh has described the situation as a catastrophic saga:
