Minister for Health

Construction of the National Maternity Hospital on the St Vincent's University Hospital campus is estimated to be completed by 2018. On the transfer of the hospital services it is planned that the ownership of the premises at Holles Street will be ceded to the State. At this early stage it would be premature to speculate as to the future use of the premises.
