Visiting restrictions have been extended at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, following an outbreak of the winter vomiting bug.

Management are asking the public not to visit a patient in the hospital unless the person is critically ill.

Children are not permitted to visit the hospital under any circumstances.

It is hoped a visiting ban will prevent others from contracting the illness, also known as norovirus.

Essential visits may only take place between 2-4pm and between 6-8pm, with only one visitor allowed per patient.
