Children's hospital to be built on Mater site - HSE

The Health Service Executive has confirmed that the new National Children’s Hospital will be built on the site of Dublin’s Mater Hospital.

It follows a report from a special taskforce, which recommends that the most central adult hospital in Dublin would be the best site for the new facility.

The new 400-bed facility will replace the three children’s hospitals in Temple Street, Crumlin and Tallaght, and will also offer extensive maternity services.
