THE Religious Sisters of Charity Ireland are set to be given “sole ownership” of the new National Maternity Hospital.
The €300million facility will be located at St Vincent’s Hospital grounds at Elm Park in south Dublin.
Proceeds from the sale of Holles Street maternity hospital will go towards funding the new one which is due to start being built in 2021.
The Religious Sisters of Charity organisation still owes €3million to the State redress scheme for victims of institutional abuse, agreed to in 2002 after the Ryan commission investigation.
In 2009, the organisation agreed to pay €5million to former residents of religious institutions.
