AN ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL for National Children’s Hospital which would see it built on a site near the existing Coombe Hospital has been sent to health minister James Reilly.
The new proposal would fulfil all the requirements set out by a Department of Health taskforce and enable the building to be far lower than that proposed for the Mater site, the submission said.
This could help it get past An Bord Pleanála, who rejected the Mater proposal last month on the grounds that it would have a “profound negative impact” on Dublin’s skyline.
Moreover a sovereign wealth fund has expressed an interest in financing the project, according to management of the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital.
The submission highlighted the easy access to the Coombe site, which would be near several major roads and bus corridors and 400m from the Luas stop at St James’s Hospital.
The proposed new hospital would occupy the disused Bailey Gibson and John Player sites, as well as the former Boys’ Brigade playing fields which are now owned by Dublin City Council.
Parking for 1,000 cars would be provided at the proposed institution, which the submission said would provide “a warm and welcoming, child‐friendly world with high-quality, well-ventilated daylit spaces, landscaped courts, gardens and terraces.” The submission states:
The vision of the NPH on this site achieves the unequivocal tri‐location of paediatric, maternity and adult services and fulfils all of the criteria established by the McKinsey Report and the Department of Health/HSE NPH Task Group.
Some of the planning that has already gone into the Mater site at a cost of €35million could be transferred and used in the Coombe proposal, the submission said.
Roll on 2moro!!!!!! Can’t wait!!
I hope he means ‘metaphorically’ and not ‘literally’.
Would be a lot more useful if these idiots tackled countries such as China, Iran and Burma that restrict free access to the Internet. Suppose it’s not newsworthy though.
They have recently. Iran was hit by op anti sec. Government departments.
So there.
You won’t here about it with mainstream media. Try arstechnica.com or wired.com
can they transfare funds into ecb to bail out italy.since the rest of europ is broke.
I’d prefer if they transferred out of the ECB into Ireland seeing as they’ve screwed us over for the last few years.
and all across the land IT staff plugged out their modems at home just in case, the work ones can wait till after coffee.
Non starter. No-one in Anonymous has any skill beyond SQL injection and DDoS attacks.
They do this to show that big fancy businesses can’t even protect from basic attacks such sql injection or ddos attacks and we’re supposed to trust them with our details.
Just criminals
…as opposed to unjust criminals? I agree!
Can’t wait to see what they do! Fair play to them exposing the flaws in Internet security. It’s the ones that sneak in and say nothing you need to worry about
It’s just someone with an agenda
Spoilists if such a term exists.
Brilliant brilliant minds used for mediocre purposes.
Why don’t you try famine, disease, dictatorships etc etc
Attack them, if you win ……. the world wins
God bless you and help you to make the right decision
Because they don’t have Internet? :-) To be serious, all this hacking is not directed at “who”, it is way more often directed at “viable of doing or not?”. Of course there is extra pride and hype amongst hacker groups if they manage hit something big. But reality is they always look for weak targets and easy points first and then just narrow down more and more to select something attractive. In other words, they hack what they can, not necessarily what they would like to.
Guys… anyone know what a false-flag attack is ?? …9/11 … the government / powers that be are gearing up to shut down the web as we know it… and reboot with a new COMPLETELY CONTROLED & CENSORED Web.. …using security fears / blaming hackers for there actions…
