The best site for children’s hospital

THE proposed location for a new National Children’s Hospital is on a site belonging to the man-in-the-cupboard’s ‘alma Mater’ where he served his time as an accountant before becoming Taoiseach.

At €1.5 million a bed, that’s 50% dearer than the reported industry norm and hardly exemplifies the hairshirt lifestyle we citizens have planned for us.

The silence of the parliamentary opposition does not augur well: do they support what is happening or not?
