Mixture of anger, relief, and bargaining from parents and TDs

Parent representatives have reacted with a mixture of anger and relief to news that a national children’s hospital site has been chosen after almost two decades of delays.

Spokespeople for families across the country highlighted the contradictory views about where the facility should be based.

The Tallaght Hospital Action Group hit out at Health Minister James Reilly’s plan, saying that the west Dublin location they put forward was still the best option.
