A High Court challenge has been lodged to prevent the new National Maternity Hospital being built on land owned by the Order of the Sisters of Charity on the campus of St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.
The new twist comes as talks between the Department of Health and St Vincent’s Healthcare Group over the future ownership of the €300m State-funded hospital enter a crucial phase today.
Challenge
The legal challenge is to be announced this morning by Dick Spicer (70), co-founder of the Campaign to Separate Church and State, and his son Norman.
He confirmed yesterday he has already lodged the High Court summons against the State, the Health Minister and the Attorney General.
