Injury unit in Carlow takes a step closer to opening

Work is to begin next month on a new Local Injury Unit at St Dympna’s Hospital in Carlow.

McStan has been appointed contractor for the almost €2 million project, which will see existing rooms refurbished.

The unit is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Minister of State Jennifer Murnane O’Connor says this will benefit the people of Carlow greatly
