Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Paediatric Hospital: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Valerin O'Shea:

On the composition of our group, we got together after the oral hearing where some of us met for the first time in December last because Connolly Hospital had come on the radar. There are various backers of the Connolly for Kids Hospital. There is the New Children's Hospital Alliance, one of the larger groups and one to which I belong. Then there are the Extra Special Kids Group, Fionnbar Walsh, father of Donal from Kerry, the founders of Jack and Jill and many other backers.
