ByThe decision has been delayed for two weeks, during which time government ministers aim to alleviate concerns from both the opposition and the Irish public.
The company in question – the recently established St Vincent’s Holdings CLG – is a non-profit group with charitable status. The site for the new hospital was previously owned by the Religious Sisters of Charity, and the transfer of their shareholdings to this new company required approval from the Vatican.
The site itself is valued at €200 million, and the gifting of this property to the State comes with the proviso that the religious order will retain ownership of all but the building’s shell. The new hospital board will be made up of three independent directors selected by the minister, three nominated by St Vincent’s, and three nominated by the National Maternity Hospital.
Considering Ireland’s fractured history with the Catholic church – in particular its treatment of women and children – plans for a religious charity to take ownership of the country’s foremost maternity hospital have received severe backlash.
