Nenagh Injury Unit closed again

Due to continued impacts on staffing as a result of unexpected leave, the Injury Unit at Nenagh Hospital will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, August 3rd.

Nenagh Injury Unit is open this Tuesday, August 2nd and will re-open on Thursday morning, August 4th. The Injury Unit at Nenagh operates from 8am to 8pm.

We are advising people who require treatment for minor injuries tomorrow to attend the Injury Units at St John’s Hospital in Limerick, or Ennis Hospital.

UL Hospitals Group would like to apologise to patients who are inconvenienced by these arrangements, which have been made to ensure patient safety, which we strive to protect at all times. No other services at the hospital are affected.

We urge people with minor injuries not to attend the Emergency Department at UHL at this time. The Injury Unit in St John’s Hospital, Limerick, is open seven days, 8am-7pm, and can be contacted on 061-462303. The Ennis Hospital unit is open 8am-8pm and can be contacted on 065-6863121.

Local councillor Séamie Morris has said he will be seeking a detailed explanation from hospital management over the series of closures of Nenagh's Injury Unit over the last week. "North Tipperary is to be left without A&E services yet again," he commented. "Not a peep from our TDs on this."
