The provision of new maternity facilities co-located with adult acute services in the Greater Dublin Area is a priority for this Government, the Department of Health and the Health Service Executive. The new hospital will provide maternity, gynaecology and neonatal services to the women of Dublin, replacing the existing facilities of the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street. The Government has approved significant funding to progress this development within the HSE's capital plan.

In conjunction with the Project Board, one of the Design Team's initial tasks in 'Stage 1 – Preliminary Design' will be the further development of a detailed project programme. It is expected that construction work will commence in 2016 and the hospital will be complete in 2019.
