Trio to meet for hospital discussions

The Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Health Minister have yet to meet to discuss the location of the new National Children's Hospital.

The three are to get together before the issue comes before the wider cabinet group, and it is thought the talks could now happen later this week.

The issue could then be up for discussion at next week's cabinet meeting.

An Bord Pleanála rejected the proposed site at the Mater hospital in Dublin city centre earlier this year.
