I predict we are going to be repeating these mistakes, including in the building of the new national maternity hospital in the wrong place. While that is a completely different matter, when you look at the census of population and the demographics, babies are being born on the other side of the city, on the west side of Dublin and the M50, where the demographics suggest that a maternity hospital is required but we are building it on the east side. I do not buy this idea that we are learning lessons.
