The National Children’s Hospital (NCH) contractor is “committed” to the June 2025 completion date, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said, following a meeting with Bam Ireland's parent company. In recent weeks, the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) have become embroiled in a row with Bam over the project, with the board criticising the continued delays. Mr Donnelly said that BAM must now provide additional workers to the NCH site, following its commitment to a June 2025 completion deadline. The Health Minister also said that the plan to commission the hospital with equipment would be accelerated, with teams set to fit out the hospital much earlier now.

Ross County 1 Celtic 2: Instant reaction to the burning issues
Celtic spiritWhatever Rodgers said to his charges in the changing room at half-time provoked a reaction. Celtic posed far more of a threat in the final third early in the second half than they had in the first. McGregor went close after making a mazy upfield break and Daizen Maeda forced a save from Ross Laidlaw after a well-worked move. The right back initiated the attack which put Celtic in front and secured another three points. If they continue to perform as well in the weeks and months ahead they will challenge for a top six spot.

Ireland calls for end to violence on first anniversary of October 7 attacks
However, he said it is “not possible to view this anniversary in isolation from the justifiable outrage at the death and destruction suffered by ordinary Palestinians” in Gaza in the past year. The Tanaiste added that the violence must stop and a political process urgently start. “I think today of the hostages still in Gaza and their families who desperately want them home. “I recognise the hurt and sorrow of the Israeli people, and of the Jewish and Israeli communities here in Ireland and throughout the world. “There must be an immediate ceasefire and hostage release deal, and a massive scaling up of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
