BEAUMONT HOSPITAL HAS asked visitors to stay away due to a flu outbreak which has hit 113 people at the hospital so far.
The Dublin hospital has warned that visiting restrictions will remain in place throughout the bank holiday weekend in a bid to try to halt the spread of the virus.
Only essential visits will be allowed and can only take place during a window of two hours each evening between 6pm and 8pm.
Children have been banned from visiting the hospital in any circumstances and anyone with any flu-like symptoms has also been asked to stay away.
The hospital warned that influenza carries risks to all patients but especially those with seriously underlying medical conditions, and appealed to the public to cooperate with the restrictions “for the common good”.
The outbreak began in mid-February.

If you are being threatened in the workplace or any other place, report them to gardai, if you get the lack of evidence reply, write up a civil proceedings charge.
Predator behaviour needs to be held accountable.
Their past history catches up, remember that warning
@Dean: The WRC won’t use voice recordings but yet will listen to them, tell the bullies that they were caught on the recordings and tell the victim how awful your experience was even in writing but yet they won’t use them. While the Gardaí would, I think. What use is the WRC when getting the Gardaí would mean less hassle in most cases?
@Dean: I suppose the best way is to report them to the Gardaí first and if there is a case then sue them in the case with emotional distress?
Improvements needed in paperwork in WRC – lost submissions and correspondence and incorrect recording and huge delays in judgements. Also system of applying for adjournments deeply flawed and one sided. Awards when they are made are reducing so for the few who manage to take a case and win, it is not worth it much of the time. Lots of legislation to protect workers but no legal aid to assist and as costs are not awarded in statutory employment cases have to pay your own costs even if you win. Makes taking a case impossible for most. Much of the trade union assistance is not up to standard.
Good.
Everyone should feel respected and secure in the workplace.
