Published: 30 August 2024

It’ll represent a full circle for the Taoiseach – who approved the project when he was Health Minister in 2019.

The project is providing replacement beds rather than extra beds, but in far more modern facilities, including single-bed private rooms.

Local Fine Gael Senator Aisling Dolan says it’s a welcome and necessary upgrade for the hospital.
