Louth County Hospital ( Irish: Ospidéal Chontae Lú) is a public hospital in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland. It is managed by the RCSI Hospitals group within the Health Service Executive. [2]
The hospital has its origins in a building in the Crescent, which is now occupied by Dundalk Grammar School, and opened as the Louth Infirmary in 1834. [3] The aging infirmary was replaced by a new facility in Dublin Road which was built at a cost of €500,000 and was officially opened on 3 July 1959. [4] The accident and emergency department was replaced by a minor injuries unit in June 2010, despite years of campaigning by local people for it to be kept open. [5] [6]
