holiday on ice, big bills, private hospitals and nothing to do with Limerick!
It looks like the holiay on ice thing that was down in the potato market last year is making a return visit this year, so casualty out in the regional will probably see an upsurge in cut fingers and damage to other limbs being extended more than normal!! In nothing to do with Limerick news it looks like we could have a new International Soccer manager shortly enough. Also, it seems as if the City Council is really in the the "deep D'oh " now as it looks as if they will have to fork out in the region of 50 million euro to Uniform Construction after the High Court has decided not to change the decision made by an arbritator after the council terminated a contract on the Main drainage project in 2001.
It appears that Limerick is going to get its first private hospital after it was confirmed that a new hospital , which entails a total investment of 60 million euro, will be based at the Blackberry Retail Park on the Dock Road. The construction of the 95 bed facility is expected to be completed within twelve months. It will also contain six operating theatres, a physioterapy centre and 14 recovery units. 300 construction jobs will be created, during the building phase, with 150 medical staff
being employed, when the hospital is up and running. This may be a good thing, seeing as results last week placed the regional hospital in Dooradoyle fairly close to the bottom of the hygiene scale. The surgical wards in the Regional Hospital are currently the most unhygenic in the country. The intensive care units at the facility are rated as Ireland's second worst with an average score of 65 per cent. The Regional's medical wards are seventh lowest of the country's 54 hospitals while the outpatient departments are reported to be fifth lowest of all hospitals!
There are 7 munster players in the starting 15 for the slaughter on Saturday... sorry, - game against the All Blacks... Mayber if there were another eight on the team and it was played at Thomond pk, there might be some hope, but dont count on it. the team is ..
