Dr Peter Boylan has resigned from the board of the National Maternity Hospital with immediate effect.

Speaking on Newstalk’s Pat Kenny Show, Dr Boylan said the board is “deaf to concerns of the public it serves.”

He claimed he was a “lone voice” more or less on the board but added that he was not a lone voice in the community or the medical profession.

Dr Boylan voiced his concerns late last week about controversial plans to build a new €300m maternity hospital, which would be built on land owned by the Sisters of Charity.
