Legal action could derail €1bn children’s hospital
Fin Breatnach, a spokesperson for Connolly for Kids, confirmed that the group was taking legal advice “to see if we can challenge the decision vis-a-vis a judicial review”.
Dr Breatnach said they had sent a letter of intent to both the Government and the National Children’s Hospital Development Board “indicating that we are looking into the possibility of a judicial review”. He said they had 12 weeks — from the time the Government made its decision this week to fund the new hospital — to submit a case for a decision on whether a judicial review could proceed.
