University Hospital Limerick has started renting floor space at Bon Secours Limerick to alleviate periods of peak pressure. “I’m delighted to announce we've reached a service level agreement with University Hospital Limerick. As of this Monday morning, Mr Kenny said 13 patients transferred from UHL were being treated in Bon Secours. The official opening of Bon Secours Limerick, Ireland’s first new acute hospital in almost 20 years, took place on Monday, after a €213m investment. It's a big investment and a big undertaking.”Local TD and communications minister Patrick O’Donovan was also at the launch of Bon Secours Limerick.
