Limerick: where's the hospital?

LadyMayBelle

Hi,
just wondering where abouts the hospital is from the city, as in could you bus it, or walk it.

Don't know limerick at all but could be moving there after christmas, so just want to get an idea of what areas i should be looking at on daft..and ones i should avoid:) I think it's St Camillus hospital..

thanks in advance

St camillus is on shelbourne road, just off the ennis road. about 10-15 minutes walk from city centre, is served by regular bus.
there is other hospitals though, so might be worth checking to be sure!

Buying/renting?

What facilities do you need?

Despite what you may have read in the papers, living close to a hospital is not essential when moving to Limerick.

St Camillus is a nursing home / Dental clinic I believe. Just making sure you're aware of this.

LadyMayBelle

Yeah Im aware it's the nursing home part alright, I may have placement down there but will find out tomorrow for certain, just wanted and idea of area I should be looking at on daft. ie for short term renting..thanks everyone:)

Anywhere along the Ennis Road, or in town itself would be okay.
It's literally a 10-15 min walk from the city center (depending on how long your legs are!:p), and there are regular busses every 15-20 mins that either pass or go very close to it.

somewhere along the strand would be ideal for you i believe.

if u want a NICE apartment, go for lansdowne, they're just built and gorgeous, and ud be very close to town for heading shopping/out, and only 10 minutes from work too

You could always get an apartment in the city centre.
Buses run from Dunnes to Caherdavin via Camillus' every 20 minutes so it'd be grand.
Living in the city centre is a great benefit.

I work there at weekends... Houses are always coming up on the notice boards inside so check that out if youre stuck. other than that id say look at what was said before. the bus you wanna get is the caherdavin no.302. it goes every 20 mins from dunnes in town.
