Children's hospital Galway

hi

I used Google but could not find answer which probably means the answer to my question is no.

anyways, I'm just wondering is there a specific children's hospital in Galway ?

If not, is the nearest one in Dublin ?

Two specific children's hospitals in the country are both in Dublin: Crumlin and Temple St. Galway would have a children's ward in the main hosp and the Bons if you have private healthcare. As far as I know anyway

Thanks.
is the children's ward in main hospital and the bons setup only a stop gap really. i.e if anything half way serious, they will just be sent to Dublin ?

Yes, if anything needs specific paedeatric treatment/attention that can't be done in the normal hospital children are sent to Temple St or Crumlin.

Breaks and minor illnesses mostly treated in regional hospitals.

More serious long term stuff is dealt with by the main children' hospitals in Dublin (Our Lady's Children's Hospital (Crumlin), Children's University Hospital (Temple St.) and National Children's Hospital (Tallaght).
