The Pat Kenny Show
Pat is joined by journalist Paul Cullen to trace the long, bruising saga of the National Children’s Hospital - a project first priced at €650 million and now estimated at well over €2.2 billion, with more rises likely. Drawing on his new book, Billion Dollar Baby, Cullen explains how decades of rivalry between Dublin’s children’s hospitals, a tortuous site-selection process, and planning missteps helped turn a once-unifying healthcare ambition into one of the State’s most troubled public builds.
