Concerns about the fire safety of toilets within the new National Children's Hospital have emerged, with further delays to the project now likely, the Irish Examiner can reveal.
Multiple sources close to the project have said there are issues surrounding the fire safety certification of prefab 'toilet pods' inside the children's hospital.
Further delays to the hospital are now likely, with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board seeking a revised handover date from developer Bam.
Concerns about the toilet pods join a litany of other snags at the long-delayed and overbudget hospital, with the NPHDB saying they no longer expect the building to be handed over on August 31.
