Former Health Minister Simon Harris says that he is committed to the idea of the National Maternity Hospital (NMH) on the St Vincent's site.

Mr Harris said that he was "demystifying" a conversation he had with Dr Peter Boylan on a potential move to Tallaght and said that he still believes the move to St Vincent's is the best plan for the new facility.
