As announced by St Vincent's Healthcare Group on 28 April, the Religious Sisters of Charity have transferred their shares in St Vincent’s Healthcare Group (SVHG) to St Vincent’s Holdings CLG, which is a not-for-profit company with charitable status. As such, this matter of the share transfer has been resolved and the Sisters no longer have any involvement with SVHG.  In the announcement, Sister Patricia Lenihan, Superior General, Religious Sisters of Charity, confirmed that the Sisters “...will have no role in the future of the new independent charity, the St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group, St. Vincent’s Holding CLG or the new National Maternity Hospital.”

The State has not provided any indemnity.
