St.Lukes Hospital

Anyone who knows St.Lukes Cancer Hospital in Rathgar will be aware that the site on which it stands is probably the most exclusive ,discreet area in Dublin City.Unfortunately their visits were probably at a time of sadness or concern for themselves or a relative or friend.
It appears that there is a proposal to close St.Lukes....I think to 'centralise care' is the reason given for this move.

The pretence is that the proposal is Dept.of Health driven,when it appears quite obvious that this is for the benefit of some developer waiting anxiously in the wings....
St.Lukes site bridges the area between Highfield Rd. and Orwell park,the original 'leafy suburbs' of Rathgar, entrance and exit are both on to secluded roads....a developers dream....

We should not let this happen! State owned property such as this should not be allowed to pass quietly into private hands.
