A consortium of businessmen who are going to develop the private co-located hospital on the St James' Hospital site have announced plans to build a 100 bed hotel on top of the hospital.
Fantastic, public land now being used for private hotels.

Oh good god. Next we'll have casinos and niteclubs thrown in. Co-location is a bad idea, a stupid idea, and is only being used to allow private investors make a quick buck by getting tax breaks and grants to build on taxpaper-owned land.
The new private hospital in Galway is built in such a way that it can be quickly converted into a hotel if the private hospital business fails.
Fun fact.
If they brought in niteclubs, I'll change my stance to not liking co-location to loving it.

Why haven't the silly Government written into the leases that the land must be used for hospitals. I guess the obvious answer is they're sillyOriginally Posted by meriwether

I'm not a big fan of co-location to be honest.
But if they do go ahead with it I don't see the problem with sticking a hotel on top!
A poster of some consequence...
I think this story just about show's up the whole hospital location nonsense for what it is. On other sites, developers will want to build apartment blocks, commercial developments, whatever.
The whole stinking plan is nothing more than an excuse for the Government to hand over prime city centre publically owned land to property developers.
1,197 people agree with me.. how many agree with you ?
Why should we provide valuable public land to hotel developers who wish to use it for purposes other than that suited to the location, which in this case is clearly healthcare. For example, why don't we give part of the Stephen's Green over to build a hotel on, I mean its a very central location, nice gardens to look out on and so on.
