## Resource

Merlin Park University Hospital in Galway is getting a crucial surgical upgrade—just 26 square meters of new space to meet top clinical standards, plus a relocated bike shelter for safety and accessibility. With two new operating theaters nearing completion, this small expansion ensures full compliance with HSE regulations and supports seamless hospital operations. Galway City Council approved it with five key conditions, paving the way for safer, more efficient patient care behind the scenes.
