A local authority parking page identifies free car parking spaces at the Neonatal Unit at Limerick Maternity Hospital.

Arriving for Drop-Off, Emergency Care and Busy Hospital Periods
The front car park is the practical arrival point for the maternity hospital because the HSE places it at the front of the building. (HSE) Use that frontage for a quick passenger drop-off before moving the car, particularly when the passenger is pregnant, in labour or needs assistance walking.
The hospital’s external car park by the main entrance is usually fairly busy, while a multi-storey car park is reported as usually having spaces. (Mumsnet) The account is informal, so the useful planning point is to allow extra time at the main entrance rather than relying on an immediately available space.
