Parents Accommodation

If you would like to stay in the hospital with your child, we can offer you accommodation in the Parents' Accommodation Unit, on the second floor, which is reached by the stairwell near the canteen.

The Parents' Accommodation Unit consists of single and double rooms, bathrooms, sitting rooms and a kitchen, where light snacks may be made.

As the number of rooms is limited, it would be helpful if you could advise us of your requirements as early as possible.

There is a reasonable charge for the use of the parents' rooms. If the charge causes difficulties for you and your income is from Social Welfare, your Community Welfare Officer may be able to assist you, before you come to the hospital.  

Fold-up mattresses are available for parents to stay on the ward. Only one parent at a time may stay on the ward overnight with their child. You are requested to provide your own sleeping bag, pillow, etc.

For parents who are staying overnight on the wards, coin operated shower facilities are available on the first floor and can be reached via the stairwell near the canteen. Parents must provide their own toiletries and towels.

To arrange hospital accommodation, please contact the Accommodation Officer, on 409 6622, between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. or between 6.00 p.m. and 11.00 p.m.

The Accommodation Officer or Admissions Office can also provide information on approved Bed & Breakfast accommodation in the locality.
