The Coombe Hospital was hit with a cyberattack last night, which has impacted several systems within the facility, according to the HSE.
It says services are continuing as normal, but the IT networks have been locked down on a precautionary basis.

The HSE says there's no evidence of any impact outside the Coombe, but a broader examination is underway regardless.
The Coombe's systems have been disconnected from the National Health Network, and staff are also assessing the impact of the attack.
