Speed of completion was key factor in locating children’s hospital at Mater

COMPLETING the country’s new national children’s hospital in the shortest possible time was a crucial factor in the singling out of the Mater Hospital in Dublin as the site.

Speed of completion was key, a spokesman for the Health Service Executive (HSE) admitted.

“We are anxious to have the national children’s hospital completed as soon as possible. People have waited long enough for it,” he said.
