A senior Garda investigating officer's been appointed to oversee an investigation around a number of recent incidents at Letterkenny University Hospital in Donegal, involving Covid denying activists.
It's after a video emerged on line, showing a Covid patient, Joe Mc Carron, apparently being encouraged to leave the facility by another man, while doctors advised him to stay.
The 67 year old, from Dungloe, had to be readmitted to the facility two days later but passed away on Friday.
