Parking

There is paid parking on site. There is a current fee of €3 per stay in the Hospital car park.

Car park permits can be issued to parents of sick children who need long term care, the next of kin of critically ill patients or patients who require longer term care.

Disabled parking is located at the following places:- hospital main entrance, emergency department. People with designated and appropriately issued Disabled Person Parking Permits only are allowed to use these spaces. As wheelchair accessible spaces are limited, we encourage permit holders who are passengers to use the “set down” area to enter/exit the vehicle thus leaving the disabled parking bays for drivers with mobility issues.

Please do not obstruct hospital roadways when parking your car and park only in the designated areas.
