Wexford Council calls for restored saints’ titles

A motion calling for the title ‘Saint’ to be reinstated in all ward names at Wexford General Hospital has been passed by Wexford County Council. Fianna Fáil Cllr John Fleming urged the HSE to reinstate the ‘proper title’ of the individuals after whom the wards had been named. The wards were renamed after the hospital drew down funding for new signs, claiming to be moving forward while respecting tradition by retaining the saints’ names without their titles.
