Pensioner ‘crucified by HSE’ needs operation in London | Irish Examiner

Pensioner ‘crucified by HSE’ needs operation in London | Irish Examiner: Dressed as Jesus Christ, complete with crown of thorns, he literally hung onto the gates of Leinster House yesterday afternoon, his grandson Michael standing nearby with his walking stick.

Richard, a 75-year-old originally from Belfast but a resident of Dublin for the past 40 years, is in the middle of a 48-hour fast in protest at the HSE’s refusal to sanction funding for an operation in London to remove a spinal fistula that, if not treated, could lead to paralysis.?
