The Children’s Ark is the only inpatient facility for sick children in the Midwest. It is a purpose-built paediatric unit for children with 49 beds in the Sunshine and Rainbow wards, a high-dependency unit, a cystic fibrosis unit, and the Caterpillar Day Ward. 

There is a school for children staying in hospital so that those that are well enough can keep up with their schoolwork. And the playroom operates Monday to Friday to normalise children’s experience of hospital and proves a fun side to life within a hospital environment.

Dee Ryan, CEO Limerick Chamber said, “We are really honoured to contribute to the Children’s Ark, a wonderful department with great staff who do invaluable and life-changing work for children and families across Limerick and the Midwest. It’s reassuring that we have in the region a department where we can help kids who are unwell to recover. The Limerick Chamber is delighted to be able to support this great work.”
