Smyth says offer to build hospital still stands

SOLICITOR and multi-millionaire businessman, Noel Smyth, has repeated his proposals to fund the construction of the proposed new national children’s hospital, regardless of its location.

The property developer said at the weekend that the offer to the Health Service Executive (HSE) to build the much-needed facility remained on the table.

Mr Smyth said he and his consortium would be willing to build the new hospital, even if it is located at the Mater Hospital in central Dublin.
