Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said it was too early to know whether there will be an emergency department at Limerick's second hospital campus. The 44-acre site at Raheen, Co Limerick, which cost the €14 million, will be one of the biggest hospital campuses nationally, Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill told reporters in Limerick on Tuesday. MacNeill said she could not confirm that a second ED would be included on the Raheen site, but she did not rule it out. The development of the Raheen site was in addition to this and offered, said MacNeill, a “clear opportunity to have two acute hospital campuses in Limerick”. The lands acquired by the council “are basically located either side of this [Raheen site],” Moran said.
