Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Construction of the National Children’s Hospital: Discussion
Mr. Derek Tierney:
Given the sensitivity around where we are with the construction contractor, the potential earliest we foresee treatment taking place is the end of 2024, if that answers the Deputy's question.
The sites will continue to be a part of the HSE estates. With any site that becomes available as a result of the existing service being relocated or deemed unnecessary, there is a consideration around the reuse of that site. We currently have no definitive plans for the sites at Crumlin or Temple Street but I will provide a note to the Deputy in respect of some considerations that are at play.
