The HSE has indicated that the capital development cost of the hospital will be approximately €750 million. It is intended that €400 million of this funding will be provided from the Exchequer. The remainder will be raised from other sources, including philanthropic contributions.

A sub-committee of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board is to be established in this regard.
