"New public buildings should be in public ownership - simple as that"
This week, despite an information campaign to win over TDs and the general public alike, the government is still having to fight hard to win support to green-light the move of the National Maternity Hospital to the site of St Vincent's Hospital.
In fact, such is the level of opposition that there is a protest organised later today, May 14th, outside the Dáil at 2 o'clock.
Bernie Linnane, Chair of 'Our Maternity Hospital' campaign, who organised the protest, joined Anton to discuss.
