Two babies have been born in Wexford General Hospital on Friday afternoon just two days after the building was badly damaged in a fire.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar visited the hospital and said that the damage was so extensive that it could take “weeks to months” before it is fully reopened.
Over 200 patients had to be evacuated from the hospital outside Wexford Town on Wednesday when a fire started. It is still unclear what started the blaze and investigations are currently underway to find out what caused the building to catch alight.
