Further developments are planned in Dublin in the years ahead, including an oncology unit and day surgery facility at Bon Secours Dublin in Glasnevin.
The announcement was made by Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Michael McGrath today.
Mr McGrath said: "Resilience, reliability and readiness, the theme of today’s conference, are very much characteristics that have embodied Ireland’s response to the pandemic challenges we have faced over the last few years.
"As we move into a period now tinged with optimism and hope, it is extremely encouraging to see Bon Secours Health System’s ambition for its healthcare services in Ireland at a time when the demand for innovative healthcare in our population continues to grow.
Bon Secours Chief Executive Bill Maher added: "The last few years have been marked by significant growth in our services but we are determined to continue to be dynamic and expand our offering further.
"Our new strategy to 2025 features a €300 million investment built on the foundation of the excellence of our healthcare professionals and our commitment to continue to provide the highest quality medical services and latest healthcare technologies."
