Naming of National Children's Hospital for Dr. Kathleen Lynn: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-24
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

We are all rushing to open it. I appreciate that. It would be multiples of the cost now. It is right Dr. Lynn be honoured in some fashion but I am not sure naming the children's hospital is the most appropriate way.
I note there is nobody here from the Department of Health, which is unusual. Who ultimately will decide on this? The motion has been passed already. Senator Keogan put it down. It was already passed by the House, albeit without debate. Who ultimately decides? Is it the Cabinet, the Minister or the Houses?
