A new guide from Paraic Bergin sheds light on recent developments with Children's Health Ireland and the situation with the Ireland's Children's Hospital.
-- Paraic Bergin, an expert in business management with more than 20 years' experience in senior hospital management in Ireland and abroad, has released a new guide covering the crisis surrounding children's healthcare in Ireland. It explains that Children's Health Ireland (CHI) is facing unprecedented issues driven by years of neglect and underinvestment in the sector - and how these issues directly impact patient care and their overall safety.

The release comes following a report in the Times, which stated the flagship children's health service was "being held hostage" by its own toxic culture. The report found that staff were being humiliated, and children were being subjected to unnecessary risk - and ultimately, CHI had failed to provide effective medical care to sick children.
A spokesperson for Paraic Bergin states: "At the heart of this crisis lies a disturbing truth: the organisation charged with protecting Ireland’s most vulnerable patients - sick children - has fundamentally failed in its duty of care."
The analysis raises major concerns about CHI's ability to run the upcoming New Children's Hospital, given its current problems - and the guide shows how ongoing management issues and accountability gaps have created conditions where patient safety incidents keep happening.
Medical safety failures documented in the guide include the recall of over 500 children for potentially unnecessary hip procedures. Another review has revealed that 3 children underwent spinal surgeries where unapproved medical springs were used.
The guide details how children born with specific birth defects before 2008 were never transferred to designated centres of excellence, despite national policy. Instead, these patients stayed in general pediatric units despite needing expert treatment only available at specialised facilities.
Accountability issues have made these problems worse, with no clear responsibility for systemic failures and a toxic culture that discourages staff from voicing their concerns. This lack of accountability has created conditions where recurring issues persist without real resolution.
According to the guide, the New Children's Hospital project is an example of a financial and governance disaster that reflects broader systemic problems. Construction costs have grown from an initial €650 million budget to over €2 billion, putting it among the most expensive hospitals per bed globally.
