    Just wondering those of you that are public in The Coombe, is it €75 a night or not?Just checking as it's not been mentioned to me at all in hospital and it was a family member that told me to check as she thought there was a charge. Due in 2 weeks so just want to get everything sorted!:)

    Thanks in advance!

    If you are public there is no charge.

    €75 a night is the public hospital nightly charge, if you have a medical card you are exempt. It is capped at €750 a family for the year too.

    Maternity services are exempt from this charge
