THE privately-owned Barrington’s hospital in Limerick is set to almost double its patient capacity after receiving planning permission for a €25 million development.

Denis Cahalane, General Manager of Barrington’s Hospital, situated on George’s Quay, said the €25m extension will be completed by the end of next year.
