111. To ask the Minister for Health when he will make a decision on the name of the new children’s hospital; if he has given consideration to naming it in honour of a person (details supplied) from County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7940/22]

The Children’s Health Act 2018 provided for the creation of Children’s Health Ireland, as the single new entity responsible for providing secondary and tertiary paediatric healthcare services, which are currently provided at four sites – Temple Street, Crumlin, Tallaght and Connolly. As was noted by my predecessor during the passage of this legislation through the Oireachtas, consideration will be given to a naming process. However, I can advise the Deputy there has not been detailed consideration given to this matter as yet.
