Because we need this hospital , we need a 24 hour  a&e service in this town
Look closer at the problems on maternity unit And get the staff we need to make sure it is safe
Me myself and my family and friends need this hospital
I have a sick little girl I can't get too Tallaght that quick if she needs Oxegen or anything that she needs with her cystic fibrosis ,, her life depends on this hospital
So please everyone save our hospital
And fix the problems that need to be fixed !!

If something is broke fix it, not shut it down.. A fortune has been spent doing up the A&E, let a bit of common sense prevail here, use it...

This government are not making the cuts to Portlaoise hospital on the grounds of the publics safety. they are making the cuts because it is costing them and not making a profit for them. They don't care about people, they cut all health services in all hospitals including ambulances even though it is the tax payer who pays for the health service but they rather see our money go to IRISH WATER instead of protecting our health and lives. This government need to go now!!!

Portlaoise dealt with more people in A and E last year than Tallaght This service is required Instead of downgrading the hospital which is easily accessed from so many places Resources should be pumped in

Because I not only want Portlaoise be saved. But it should be upgraded and given the proper finances to see it at the same level as Tullamore or Naas!

After spending all day in portlaoise a&e with a friend and to think that people would have nowhere to go in a genuine emergency in the Laois area is just unthinkable and disgraceful to even consider withdrawing such a crucial part of emergency healthcare is a huge error of judgment from those responsible for even considering taken such a drastic decision!!!

This is a required service. The emergency services talk about the golden hour with patients that have cardiac arrest, and strokes, closing Portlaoise will only increase this time and the numbers dieing. This will also increase the chances incident with prisoner, like the Portlaoise prisoner stabbing the Prison Officer in Tallght

Port Laois is my local A&E the closest if it closes is Tullamore or Naas which are both over 30 mins away. Plus it will remove a inline A&E adjacent the motorway leaving no A&E on the stretch of motorway Limerick to Naas and from Clonmel to Naas surely it proximity alone to the converging m7 and m8 makes it worthy of 24hrs A&E service.

I am so angry that the government are closing Portlaoise A&E I have had my 4 children in this hospital I have had many a visits to A&E with my children and myself the staff are fantastic. All hospitals has faults if u put the money and the resources into the hospital  instead of taking it away it would be more sense instead of spending money on crap. Are the government going to take the responsibility of someone's loved one that dies because they had to travel that extra half hour or hour to another hospital how will they explain themselves then SHAME ON you...

I have attended this hospital and will again. We need this hospital. Dublin needs to remember there are 25 other counties in Ireland.
