Govt Urged To Make Barringtons New MidWest A&E As Facility Goes To Market
The Government is being called on to acquire Barrington's Hospital for use as a second MidWest A&E. The 53-bed Limerick City facility, established in 1829, has officially been listed for sale today with a guide price of €12.5m. It comes just one week after the inquest into the death of Shannon sixteen-year-old Aoife Johnston heard that overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick is systematic. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran-Molloy believes acquiring the building is an open goal for the Health Minister to alleviate pressure in the MidWest.
