Parents will have to pay up to €10 a day to park at the new National Children's Hospital.
The parking charges at the hospital, which is being built on the site of St James's Hospital, will depend on the number of hours people park their cars. The charge for a full day will be €10 which will come as a blow to struggling parents.
The Department of Health is still in the planning stages of how the car park charges will operate with the HSE. A private provider will be engaged to run and manage it, the Irish Independent reports.
