Builders are due to start repair work at Wexford General Hospital on Monday after a major fire which resulted in the largest medical evacuation in the history of the State.

Maternity services reopened on Friday despite damage to the special care infant ward and out-patient appointments are due to resume on Monday after the major fire broke out at the 280 bed facility on Wednesday afternoon at around 4pm.

The fire resulted in more than 200 patients along with hospital staff being evacuated from the medical facility and brought to hospitals across the south-east, Dublin, Cork and Navan.
