New Children's Hospital (Dublin)
an as-yet unnamed children's hospital is under construction on the campus of St. James's Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, as a regional secondary and national tertiary centre. Referred to in planning documents simply as the new children's hospital, it is due to combine the services currently provided at Dublin's three tertiary children's hospitals: Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin (formerly Our Lady's Children's Hospital); Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (formerly Temple Street Children's University Hospital); and Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght (formerly the National Children's Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital). The hospital is planned to be the lead centre in the Children's Health Ireland network, which is proposed to encompass all acute paediatric services in Ireland. In addition to the main hospital at St James's, satellite centres are expected to operate attached to Tallaght Hospital and Connolly Hospital providing local urgent care and outpatient ...

Children's Health Ireland
Children's Health Ireland (CHI; ga, Sláinte Leanaí Éireann, ''SLÉ'') is a statutory body established in 2018 to oversee the development and governance of specialist acute paediatric hospital services in Ireland. The name "Phoenix Children's Health" had originally been announced for this entity in 2017, but that name was abandoned following legal action from Phoenix Children's Hospital. On 1 January 2019, CHI took over governance of the three tertiary children's hospitals in Dublin (Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, Temple Street Children's University Hospital, and the National Children's Hospital). In doing so, it succeeded the Children's Hospital Group, which had previously been formed in August 2013 with a view to integrating these three separate hospitals under a single board of management. The three hospitals will eventually transfer their operations to the new children's hospital, an as-yet unnamed tertiary children's hospital that is currently under construction ...

Temple Street Children's University Hospital
Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street ( ga, Sláinte Leanaí Éireann ag Sráid an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin. History The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital. In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake. A new nurses' home and a new x-ray dep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Newlands Cross
Newlands Cross is a well-known junction in the south-west of County Dublin. It is the point where the N7 National Route to the South West and Mid West crosses an orbital local route, the R113. For many years this area roughly marked the place where Dublin City ended and the "country" began, though it is now inside the urban area. The R113 (in the form of the Belgard Road dual-carriageway) joins Newlands to Tallaght in the South and to the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin village to the North; the cross itself is located at the southern end of Clondalkin. By 2007, the signal-controlled junction was suffering serious traffic congestion and the upgrade to a grade-separated interchange was planned. The upgraded N7 would pass over the R113. Construction went to tender in August 2008 and preparatory work started in September 2008. Following delays, construction proper started in June 2013 and was expected to be completed in May 2015. The new flyover opened to traffic ahead of schedul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Greenfield Land
Greenfield land is a British English term referring to undeveloped land in an urban or rural area either used for agriculture or landscape design, or left to evolve naturally. These areas of land are usually agricultural or amenity properties being considered for urban development. Greenfield land can be unfenced open fields, urban lots or restricted closed properties. They are kept off limits to the general public by a private or government entity. Greenfield sites offer a high degree of freedom for a developer, compared to sites with existing developments. For example, a greenfield site is a welcome opportunity for a cable operator to choose equipment based on cost and aesthetic parameters, without considering migration issues related to legacy equipment on the site. Rather than building upon greenfield land, a developer may choose to redevelop brownfield or greyfield lands, which have been developed but left abandoned or underused. Other uses The term has broadened in sco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
