The head of the Jack and Jill foundation has described the plan to build the new national children's hospital at St James's Hospital as an 'idiot' idea.

He doesn't believe the new hospital will be delivered on target for 2018 – and says the location should be changed to Blanchardstown Hospital which has more space.
