Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Stephen Keary wished the hospital well by saying, “I would like to wish the Bon Secours Hospital at Barringtons all the very best on their first anniversary here in Limerick. The name Barringtons has always been synonymous with first-class health care in Limerick down through the years, as a public hospital and as a private facility. That tradition is continuing with Bon Secours and I wish them a ‘Happy Birthday’ and wish them success as they continue to provide health services to the people of Limerick and the mid-west”.

In 2018 we aim to treat more patients across the specialities of Endoscopy, Orthopaedic, Urology, Gynaecology, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Dental.

We will continue to develop the hospital infrastructure and this year we will complete the New Entrance, Reception and Waiting Area together with further investment in Operating Theatre facilities. The hospital is covered by all major health insurers. We are also proud title sponsors of the 2018 Great Limerick Run”.
