Is failing to put together a plan to build a childrens hospital a plan to make unesco happy?

I just don't see how it could of worked there, you can't park at the mater as it is. I had to drop my granddad off at the doors recently to visit my gran and then I had to drive for 10 minute and park in the flats, it was well dodgy.

This is the thing though the dubs seem to think its eclusively theirs and the rest of the country can make their way into the clusterfook that is the city centre.

Fair play common sense has prevailed this facility should be somewhere near a ring road so access is easier and not jammed into dublin city centre.

Imagine the traffic problems while it was being built (and response times of the ambulances trying to get back to The Mater or Temple St would suffer)

You get 10 unesco points for every junkie in the city, 5 for beggars, we are well up there

Wait for the link folks.

"And from one building to not being built to a building that has been built but is of poor quality. Belmayne or what people are calling 'Priory Hall part 2.' God bless, god bless."

Yep I agree. I know the other argument is that if your child is seriously ill you don't care about parking you just want world class healthcare.

But . . . a lot of children's illnesses are long-term. What about family (immediate and extended) who want to come and visit? Also someone mentioned in an earlier post that long term illness patient's need some outdoor spaces.

Well you will care about parking when your chucking them at the door or walking them 20 minutes from a parking spot. Its not just for the kids, its hard with older people too to get in there.

This guy is really ramming home the "won't somebody please help the sick children?" card.

Yea, help the children that live outside of Dublin to avail of the hospital too - move the damn thing to Tallaght...

Actually think most dubs (incl myself) think that the Mater site was wrong end off. Outskirts of Dublin it needs to be.

But sure, my kids will be adults by the time this gets built tbh

The old part of Edinburgh is Unesco designated, but I don't think putting a block on all development in Dublin to get a cert from the UN is a good idea.

(I don't think this Hospital should be built on the Mater Site, I'm just saying not all development in undesirable)

I'm a Dub and none of my fellow Dubs I'm friendly with think it should be in the city centre. But then again none of us walk like pigeons or wear track suits as formal wear.

That makes them more important that a building that we actually need

Actually this is what they should be talking about today.

In recent times major stories have come and gone with no discussion on Liveline. He should be talking about this, not Train Sets and the 1907 Eucharistic Congress.

So true, the 1912 Congress beats it, hands down.

my only experience of the Mater was for a few hours one time, and for insurance reasons (due to taking a painkiller) they had to get a taxi to go from the public to private building fifty feet down the road, instead of walking. Co location is a red herring.

These parents should not be 'literally crawling in from Newslands Cross'

Get a Bus or taxi or something, or even walk, but don't crawl.
