There are calls for the fast-tracking of plans to provide 96 acute beds at University Hospital Limerick.
UL Hospitals Group has applied for funding for the extra facilities under the HSE's National Capital Plan, in an effort to address a lack of capacity at the region's main hospital.
In the Seanad, Limerick Fine Gael Senator Kieran O'Donnell has asked for funding to be provided so work on this unit can begin urgently.
Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy, speaking on behalf of Health Minister Simon Harris, made no committment to expediate the funding, but says the hospital's winter plan aims to ease overcrowding in the short-term.
