A decision on planning permission for the new National Children’s Hospital has been delayed by up to three months.
An Bord Pleanála was due to make a decision on the €650 million project by next week, but now says a decision will be announced before May 12th.
The board says the delay is due to the “complexity of

Hospital in Dublin.
The hearings heard opposition to the building of the
project at St James’s from a variety of groups, including local
residents, children’s charities and retired medical personnel.
