On November 14th, Tullamore Hospital experienced an attack on lab systems and associated IT.

The HSE said the extent of it is yet to be determined and work is underway to provide assurances, while the Data Protection Commission says it has "very little information" on the investigation.

General Manager Noreen Hynes has been speaking with Midlands 103's Ben Finnegan - she says work is taking place to make sure no patient details have been stolen:
