Brian Lenihan admitted to hospital - report
Fianna Fáil party would not comment on the story in the Star that Lenihan was admitted to hospital “some days ago”.
THE FIANNA FÁIL party has declined to comment on a report this morning that TD and former minister Brian Lenihan has been admitted to hospital.
A report in the Star claims that Lenihan, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009, was absent from the government’s jobs strategy announcement yesterday because he had been admitted to hospital “some days ago”.
In September 2010, Lenihan said in a radio interview that he had completed intensive treatment for the illness in June 2010 and that subsequent tests showed it had “stabilised”. He said that although it hadn’t gone away, it was not a present danger to him and his condition had improved.
