The HSE has confirmed that the Civil Registration Service office at Ely Hospital, Ferrybank, Wexford, has reopened and is now operating five days a week. The update restores local access for people registering births, deaths and marriages in County Wexford.
The office was temporarily closed after water-related damage affected the ground floor of the building in mid-July. During the closure, alternative services were provided at HSE locations in Enniscorthy, New Ross and Waterford.
