Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. James Menton:

I want to add a comment because there has been a lot of reference to legal provisions and legal this, that and the other. Our objective is to have this project proceed, to have this building built, owned by the State under a lease ownership arrangement, to improve maternity care and neonatal care for women in Ireland. All of the various legal points that have been validly raised are just to ensure that happens and that the building will be used for the healthcare purpose for which it is being constructed and funded by the taxpayer.
