Fianna Fáil says there needs to be clarity on the charitable status of the new national maternity hospital.

It’s after the Sisters of Charity announced yesterday that it would be divesting its interests in the project and St Vincent’s Healthcare Group.

The religious order is to sell the land on which the facility will be built to a new charity called St. Vincent’s.

Fianna Fáil Health Spokesperson Deputy Billy Kelleher says the new charitable status will have to be scrutinised
