“We feel as if we've been

neglected to a certain point, 

where our opinion doesn't matter, 

where our children don't matter”

- Aaron, father of Sophia, a 10-year-old

girl with serious life-long illness

“It has got to be built around children and their sense of magic and dreams,

and you're never ever going to get that at St. James's” – Jonathan Irwin, founder of the Jack and Jill Foundation

“I think we'll be doing a huge injustice to future generations of children

if we continue looking at the St. James's site”

- Jimmy Sheehan, surgeon and founder of three adult hospitals

“Trying to put this and cram

it into a city centre site is not

good for the rest of the country”

- Fionnbar Walsh, father of the late Co. Kerry teenager Donal Walsh
