Killarney Community Hospital Statue.


Killarney Community Hospital Statue.
It is of great concern to me, the removal of the statue from the Killarney Community Hospital.. This Christian symbol has been part of the hospital landscape and structure for countless years. This welcoming statue gave some reassurance and calmness to those who entered.
The wellness and wellbeing of patients is supported with this vision giving faith in the excellent support from the professional staff when they entered the doorway under the statue.
It is disappointing to me that the removal of the statue is upsetting to members of our community. The façade of the building and its skyline where the statue stood, was very much a recognised feature and integral part of historical Killarney. The statue should be restored in its original position.

Absolutely Tom

About time local people started fighting back against remote bureaucrats imposing their narrow, secular agenda on people who don't want it.

I have asked the HSE 2 questions:

What was the health and safety risk?

Who, if anyone complained, the icon was offensive?

no reply

that's citizen engagement for you...the arrogance is astounding
