Top model Katy French
French was taken to Our Lady's Hospital in Navan, Co Meath after she collapsed at a friend's house in Ashbourne, Co Meath in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A spokeswoman for the hospital said shortly before 9pm that the model "remains seriously ill".
It is understood members of her family are at her bedside in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
French celebrated her 24th birthday, along with a host of celebrity and media friends, last Thursday in Dublin's Krystle nightspot.
Well-known for her outspoken views on issues such as abortion and cocaine use, she also came to prominence after taking part in RTÉ's recent Celebrities Go Wildprogramme.
Born in Switzerland, French's family moved to Ireland when she was a young girl and settled in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow.
After her Leaving Certificate she had plans to study psychology but chose a career in modelling instead.
While she has been on the catwalk for years she only came to prominence after the media attention which surrounded the public break-up with her fiance, restaurateur Marcus Sweeney.
It was a launchpad that has seen her secure saturation media coverage over the last year, making her one of Ireland's best-known models.
Mr Sweeney was among the close friends who visited the hospital last night to give support to her family.
