The Injury Unit at Nenagh Hospital has been temporarily closed due to issues arising from staffing as a result of sick leave.
In a statement, UL Hospitals Group advised people requiring treatment for minor injuries to attend the Injury Units at St John's Hospital in Limerick, or Ennis Hospital, until the Nenagh unit is reopened.
"We apologise to any patient who is inconvenienced by this temporary closure," the statement read.
"The decision was taken to ensure patient safety, which we strive to protect at all times. No other services are impacted."
The hospital group said that staff are working to ensure that the Injury Unit at Nenagh Hospital is re-opened at the earliest possible opportunity.
"We urge people with minor injuries not to attend the Emergency Department at UHL," the statement added.
