‘No going back’ on decision for children’s hospital site

THE Government “strongly reaffirmed” the decision to locate the new national children’s hospital on the Mater Hospital site in Dublin as Temple Street also backed the proposed location.

A spokesperson said ministers discussed the issue at yesterday morning’s Cabinet meeting and there would be no change.

Earlier this week, the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, said he had certain misgivings about the national hospital being located on the Mater site.
