Connolly for Kids Hospital (non Political) Group
We C4KH, are currently running a National Petition asking the Taoiseach to build the new Children’s Hospital at the 145 acre, M50, Greenfield site at Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown, Co Dublin instead of at St James’s. We believe this would be in the best interests of all the sick children of Ireland and its islands and would be cheaper and faster to build. We are trying to reach out to as many people across the country as possible. For those who have concerns as to whether the St. James’s Hospital Campus is the best location for the New National Children’s Hospital, visit www.connollyforkidshospital.com. You are invited to review the website and, if you agree, to sign a petition which is available to print or sign online and spread the word. Thank you.
