Tallaght University Hospital officially opened their new intensive care wing on Friday.
The new wing, located on the first floor of the hospital, has twelve ICU beds, each of which are in a single room. The unit is 1,750 m2 and cost almost €20m to build.
The existing two-year-old ICU unit in the hospital will be refurbished between September to December. While that is happening, the existing nine ICU beds there will close but will reopen next January.
