92 will be retained at St Patricks Hospital in Cashel with 40 planned for a green field site at St Anthony's in Clonmel.

"We have had a problem in Tipperary, we haven't had the full complement of beds for a number of years.
"Arising from a HSE review, the regional authority has signed off on an additional 40 beds in both St. Anthony's in Clonmel and St. Patrick's in Cashel."
