Religious order Sister of Charity will have no involvement with the new National Maternity Hospital.
The order confirmed the news this morning as they announced they will part ways with the St Vincent’s Healthcare Group (SVHG).
Sisters of Charity, which helped run the depraved Magdalene laundries, are stakeholders in SVHG, which incorporates St Vincent’s University Hospital, St Vincent’s Private and St Michael’s in Dublin.
The new €300m National Maternity Hospital is set to be built on the St Vincent’s University Hospital campus.
By relinquishing their ownership, the nuns will no longer be able to appoint directors to the board of the group.
