The hospital just confirmed that the clinic will remain open where it belongs. I am honestly stunned that this worked and I know it only happened because you showed up to help. Please keep an eye on things locally to make sure this stays protected in the future.

It was announced on Thursday 14th November that the Breast Clinic in Tallaght Hospital is to be closed and moved to one "Center of Excellence" in James' Hospital. The level of care in the Breast Clinic in Tallaght is second to none. The Oncology Department in Tallaght Hospital deals with 1400 new cancer cases each year aswell as 12,000 day patients and 7,000 out patients. Breast Cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in Ireland. We need to keep all available services open and accessible to people so they can get the help and support, medically, surgically and mentally, they need to beat the cancer. If they close this service what is going to be next Please show your support and sign our petition.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to support this clinic. Seeing us gain this much momentum is entirely down to your kindness and persistence. If we can keep this pace up a little longer we might actually get someone to listen to us.

My mam was treated there and the staff are brilliant. Why mess with something that actually works? Leave it alone.

Keep it local. James is already packed as it is.

Tallaght is essential for so many women in the area. Travelling into city centre traffic will be a nightmare for people already feeling sick and weak.

This is just another cut that hurts the regular people. Keep the clinic open in Tallaght.

Ridiculous decision. We need these services local not centralized. Think about the patients for once.
