In 2022, 16-year-old Aoife Johnston died from meningitis after she was left for more than 13 hours without antibiotics.
The pups' owner, Lyndsey Liston, immediately brought up UHL. She said: “I wouldn’t go in there at all, I would be very reluctant. I brought my father there and he stayed there for 20 minutes and walked out the door, he said staying there would make him more sick. Since the 21-year-old's death, her mother Melanie Cleary has been working as an activist but says nothing is being done. That is why she is taking matters into her own hands and is running for the Dáil as part of the Mid-West Hospital campaign.
The heartbroken mother of six has been left so traumatised by her daughter's experience in UHL that she wouldn’t dare admit herself there. She added: “I wouldn’t go there, I told my family if I am sick, leave me at home, I won’t go there.
