The Master of the National Maternity Hospital has said that when one “drills down” into each of the issues being raised about the proposed new hospital site at St Vincent’s in Dublin, “none of them hold water”.
Asked about concerns raised by one of his predecessors Dr Peter Boylan, current NMH master Shane Higgins said he isn’t sure Dr Boylan “has the understanding of the proposed move and the detail” of it.
