The emergency department at Children's Health Ireland (CHI) at Tallaght is set to close for four days, RTE.ie reports.
The closure was reported by the broadcaster on Tuesday, 22 September 2026. RTE.ie did not give a reason for the shutdown or specify the exact dates on which the department will stop taking patients.
CHI at Tallaght is one of the sites operated by Children's Health Ireland, the body responsible for paediatric acute services in the Dublin region. Its emergency department is a point of first contact for children needing urgent care.
The reported four-day closure means families who would normally bring a child to Tallaght for emergency treatment will need to use another facility during that period. RTE.ie has not said where patients are being directed.
Further details, including the reason for the closure and any alternative arrangements for patients, have not been published in the material available.
What to watch next: official confirmation from Children's Health Ireland on the closure dates and where children should be brought for emergency care while the department is shut.
