Welcoming the news, Longford/Westmeath Fine Gael TD, Gabrielle McFadden, said: "The upgrade of the A&E at Mullingar Hospital has been talked about since 2010, before this Government came into office.

"Minister Varadkar has confirmed to me that the upgrade works will be completed in the first quarter of 2016 and we all look forward to a refurbished A&E which will mean a better layout for both patients and staff.
"As a local Government TD, I am very pleased to see this substantial investment in our local hospital infrastructure which will further enhance the delivery of services at Mullingar Hospital."
