Enabling works for the temporary ED are in progress and work on construction is due to commence at the end April/early May. It is anticipated that the handover of the internal re-planned area of the temporary ED will be at the end of Q2 2022. Fitting out will then be undertaken.

Separately, a design team has developed a feasibility report for the construction of a permanent ED and Women & Children’s Block at University Hospital Galway.
