'Very Significant progress' in mediation between children's hospital and residents

Summary

In a High Court hearing on 21 October 2021, the court considered the ongoing dispute between residents of O'Reilly Avenue, Ceannt Fort and Mount Brown in Dublin 8 and the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board together with builders BAM Civil Ltd and BAM Civil Engineering Ltd. The residents alleged that the construction of the €1bn National Children's Hospital had caused significant damage to their homes. The defendants denied these claims. The case, which had previously been resolved and then re‑entered, was adjourned to allow mediation led by retired judge Paul Gilligan. Mr Justice Mark Sanfey reported that "very significant progress" was being made in the mediation, though no details were disclosed. The court also heard that an application to add eight further residents as plaintiffs was granted, as all parties consented. The matter was adjourned to a date next month.
