National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Fund: Finance Statements 2013
10:00 am
Mr. Tom Costello:
There are good lessons to be learned from how philanthropy has helped to develop education campuses all over the country. The chairman of the national children's hospital board is Dr. Jim Browne who is president of the college in Galway. Galway is one of the colleges, with that in Limerick, Trinity College Dublin and UCD, that have led the way in using philanthropic funding to develop a campus. That is a good model from which we will learn.
