We have arrived in Dublin ready for the protest to support the family of the late Thomas Power and call for 24/7 cardiac care in the South-East. #IAmTom

Sheehan says enough is enough:

"We want no more reports, enough is enough.

"It's time for action now. The message that will be going from the people of the south east to the people of the Dáil is we need movement and we need it now."
