Professor Fitzpatrick mentioned the tri-location of the Coombe with the children's hospital on the St. James's Hospital site. The Coombe is currently only a short distance from St. James's Hospital and, similarly, the Rotunda Hospital is only a short distance from the Mater Hospital. These were never, in any equation, contiguous sites.
