A Clare man who collapsed and died at his daughter's wedding last weekend had been waiting on a heart bypass. Tommy O'Brien was dancing at his daughter Karen's wedding reception on Saturday night when he suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital. The popular 70-year-old was pronounced dead at University Hospital Limerick and his son Eoin has since hit out at the HSE, saying that Tommy would still be alive if he hadn't had to wait so long for a heart bypass.

He added that the family's anger at losing the Quin man was "hard to quantify” and called on local representatives to 'do more' to improve the Irish health service. “There are political figures in the congregation today. We can accept your sympathy and your kind words, but we shouldn’t have to accept this level of health service in a first world country. To you I say ‘please do more’.” Photo via Irish Mirror
