Taoiseach Micheal Martin has accused Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald of “playing politics”, in another heated exchange in the Dail over the co-location plans for the National Maternity Hospital (NMH).
The Cabinet is due to decide next week whether to approve the plan to move the NMH from Holles Street in Dublin city centre to St Vincent’s Hospital’s Elm Park site.
Concerns have been raised about the ownership structure of the NMH at the new site, in which the state will own the building and the land will be owned by a legal entity called the St Vincent’s Holdings Group.
