To whom It may concern,

P
As a resident living In 77
O Reilly
Avenue for the last 21 years, I have concerns regarding
the
developments proposed for the StJames's Hospital Campus.
A National Children's Hospital, a new maternity hospital , a new children's research facility, a new
successful ageing facility, and a new rebuild forSt James's Hospital.
How are people to get
there?
I am already afraid to leave my home by car to try and get from Ato
B,
looking outat
the
traffic, day
in,
day out blockins Mount Brown down to
Kilmainham
Crossroad, blockins South Circular out to
James's St, blocking James's St to Bow lane, to lnfinnary
Road
to get
out
to the N4 and Heuston
Station.
Traffic
everywhere, and this
is
now, what
will
it be
like
then ? perish
the
thought of having a
loved one stuck out on one of these roads trying to
get
medical help
from
this centre of excellence
we are planning. I asked an Ambulance man once as I saw him looking fed up trying to get out o St
James's how long have you been there? It's taken me 20 minutes to get from the main concourse
to here.
he
replied. That's not what
he
signed up for when
he
did his paramedic training.
he
thought he'd
be
helping to save
lives
not sit in traffic. I noticed a traffic monitor installed on Mount
Brown the other day, who put it there? Nobody knows, I walk past a day later the cables are cut
There
will
be no accurate monitoring of traffic here , no amount of standing out on the road with
your clipboards counting cars,
you
just have to be here to live It, and It's not pleasant, and these
developments planned for this area seem unthinkable , I don't use my car unless absolutely
necessary because I agree with Dublin City Council, I agree we should keep traffic
out
but I have a
mere 15 minute walk
to
my work place. I am not a nurse
or
doctor working 60-80 hour shifts and
having to travel back to my home in one of satellite towns or In the SUburbs .

Wbere's the
parking
space?
I love living where I live , I love looking
out
at the boiler house chimneys , watching the sun bounce
off those silver towers,
I
believe it's
to be
referred
to as the
Energy Centre and
the
silver chimneys
are to
be
re designed,
The underground car park will go there , that's
the
one that's designed to house
1000
cars, built on
a site
that
already houses 600 cars, so that's an extra 400 spaces.
What about the flooding?
The entrance to
the
construction site is to
be
located at Mount Brown. During construction this is
where
the
trucks
that
will
be
decanting and refilling
the
site with over
100
trucks
per
day,
transporting tons
of
soil and debris. According
to the
plans
the
Electrlcs and Gas all located close
to
the
entrance, just where
the
road dips Mount Brown continues to Old Kllmalnham where floods can
occur on raining days. Most residents along
that
stretch have sand bags
to
block
that
entrance,
across
the
road is where my friend lives whose insurance company refuses
to
insure his
house
because of
the
cons tant flooding.
Where
is the expansion space?
They say this hospital will have a
life
span
of 100
years, with only 20% expansion room and that's by
taking away
the
'Meadow Garden' and
the
roads
that
will house
the
buses , cars and taxis travelling
..

through the concourse. Crumlln Hospital has had 7 5 ~ expansion In

This development
to me
seems ludicrous, there's no room for growth and ex jc lon by
the
time It's FROM
finished
t
will
be
too small to serve Its purpose. ~ \ R O A i E O _ - ,

What's the alternative?
f
It is deemed necessary and crucial
that
we now must have tri location ,
then
why was
the
Coombe
site mentioned in
the
Dolphin Report never given
proper
consideration?
The only 2 weaknesses listed in
the
report being:
8
minute covered walk currently crossing a busy street
' Site having to
be
acquired by multiple owners - one being Dublin Oty Council
the
other being
NAMA.
The StJames Hospital campus however states in the Dolphin Report 8 weaknesses:
' New children's and materni ty hospitals
will
consume most capacity for expansion

Riskof traffic congestion near the Rialto Gate
Capacity
to
accommodate height and bulk
of the
proposed new children's hosp building
yet to
be
demonstrated notwithstanding current permission for private hospital on site
overal l proposed level of parking on
SJH
Campus likely
to be an
issue
Need
to
decantexisting buildings/uses on proposed site could cause delays
Difficult
site
to
build
onN
Construction costs likely to be more expensive than on a greenfield site
Demolition and decanting costs
How will this affect me
and
my family?
None
of
this matters because
the NPHDB
deemed it unnecessary
to
inspect my house
at they
inspected 76
but that s
where they'll stop because
the
cracks in my walls
at
the
back
of
my house
will not
be
effected when they start construction and site clearing, surely
Ifwe
are to
be
good
neighbours and they
say
they are
engaging wtth
the
local community they could have done me
the
courtesy
of
Inspecting my property when I requested It, Instead my house was deemed Irrelevant.
So Iwant assurances.
Iwant a Conditional Survey
I want to know where
the
Zone of influence is from my property.
Where defects
are noted and
If problems occur during development,
that
works
be
carried
out to
make good.
When construction beginswhat assurances have
I, that
my home will be supported and protected
from damage
and
subsidence?
The 3
metre
high underground service tunnel is
to be
located
10
metres from my home,
the
underground 3 storey carpark will there
be
vibrations?
