Update 11.45m: A member of the National Maternity Hospital Board has said that they were not consulted about a request for Dr Peter Boylan to resign.
Dr Boylan, a former Master at Holles Street in Dublin, was asked to step down from his role on the board of the current National Maternity Hospital by deputy chairman Nicholas Kearns via text message on Sunday.
Dr Boylan had objected to plans to give ultimate ownership of a new taxpayer-funded €300m National Maternity Hospital build to the Sisters of Charity religious order.
Sinn Féin Councillor and Board member Micheál MacDonncha said that Dr Boylan should not be asked to resign for expressing an opinion, describing the decision as “regrettable”.
