Residents recommenced High Court proceedings over alleged damage to homes from National Children’s Hospital construction on 9 October 2019. The residents live in Dublin 8, near St James’s Hospital, where the hospital was being built.

Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds granted permission for short-notice service on the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and BAM Civil Limited.

Engineering reports commissioned for the residents were said to show movement affecting their houses, while correspondence between the parties had reached an impasse.

The proceedings were made returnable to Friday’s sitting of the High Court.
