St James’s site ‘vigorously opposed’ for Children’s Hospital

Plans for the new National Children’s Hospital on the St James’s Hospital campus in Dublin will be “vigorously opposed”, Jack and Jill Foundation founder and chief executive Jonathan Irwin said yesterday.

Mr Irwin said he did not know any parent who was in favour of the St James’s campus as the site for the hospital.

“We are going to do our very best to fight this,” he said.
