Beaumont Hospital’s emergency department has resumed services after a fire earlier today resulted in the suspension of some services.
In a statement the hospital said that an unanticipated incident occurred in the emergency department at around 6.45am which gave rise to a temporary suspension of on-call services as a necessary contingency measure.
The hospital said the incident has been safely managed with services resuming as normal from 10am.
In a statement, Dublin Fire Brigade said it was called at 7am this morning to reports of a fire in the hospital.
