The former chairman of the Workplace Relations Commission has said monies owed by the Sisters of Charity order to a redress scheme did not feature during negotiations to move the National Maternity Hospital to the St Vincent’s campus.
The land on which the new hospital will be built is owned by the St Vincent’s Healthcare Group and the Sisters of Charity are a major shareholder in the group, which will own the new hospital.
Kieran Mulvey acted as a mediator between Holles Street and St Vincent’s hospitals during the negotiation process.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Sean O’Rourke, Mr Mulvey said he empathised with victims but the issue was separate to the one he had been dealing with.
He said his terms of reference were to deal with the relocation of Holles Street and to put in appropriate arrangements for all concerned.
