This hospital is being constructed on an eco-friendly site with accessibility to public transportation, EV parking, and bike facilities.

Facilities will be outfitted with heat pump technology for heating and cooling, green roof technology, natural daylighting, and ventilation will also be used where necessary.

Bon Secours Health System Group chief executive Bill Maher said: “This new facility will transform day-care surgical and oncology treatments available in Limerick, provide new services such as general medicine, a new Cath lab and cardiology, and widen patient-centred services to a growing local population.

“It is the latest development in our €300m national investment strategy, with the Mid-West now set to further benefit from the high-quality healthcare and technologically advanced services that are the Bon Secours hallmark.”
