A former master of the National Maternity Hospital has refused to resign his position on the hospital’s board.
Dr Peter Boylan was asked to step down after he criticised the plan to build the new facility at a site owned by the Sisters of Charity at St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.
Concerns have been raised about the potential for religious influence over the new hospital and Last week Dr Boylan spoke out about his reservations.
He said the 100 governors of the National Maternity Hospital (NMH) in Holles Street had yet to be asked for their agreement on the arrangement and insisted he had expressed his reservations to his fellow board members on a number of occasions.
