Wexford General Hospital ED to reopen for minor injuries following huge blaze

Damage to the roof of Wexford General Hospital after a fire forced an evacuation of the building.

The emergency department at Wexford General Hospital is scheduled to open by the end of this week for minor injuries "at best" following a huge blaze there earlier this month. 

Work is ongoing to repair the facility with builders starting work at the hospital on Monday to carry out repairs. The major fire resulted in the largest medical evacuation in the history of the State as more than 200 patients were transferred.
