A campaign of disruption to work at the National Children’s Hospital construction site in Dublin has intensified with a fake bomb placed there on Monday morning. The incident was the latest disruption at the site after around 20 arson attacks at the location during the summer months, which gardaí believe are linked. Signs offering the reward have been placed around the construction site but the culprit has not been identified and no arrests have been made. In July an arson attack on the site led to concern among some construction workers after a fire alarm was sounded. “In 2020, both the construction site of the new children’s hospital and Children’s Hospital Ireland at Tallaght were closed for a period, following the arrival of Covid-19 to Ireland.”
