Medical group gets green light for €250m co-located hospital

The Beacon Medical Group (BMG) will spend €250 million building the 183-bed, six-theatre facility on a site leased from the State, which, once fully operational, will employ 460 full-time staff.

BMG said it is confident of achieving funding for the hospital once final contracts are signed off by the Department of Health. It should take 30 months to build. The project will create about 620 construction jobs and BMG said that when combined with additional part-time opportunities and additional indirect employment, the hospital could create jobs for up to 690 people.
