This was to be a \u20ac650m project to build a new national children’s hospital adjacent to the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital in Dublin city centre. The new hospital would amalgamate the secondary and tertiary care functions of three existing children’s hospitals in Dublin: Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin; Temple Street Children’s University Hospital; and the National Children’s Hospital at Tallaght Hospital.In 2010, Lynch met the Crumlin Hospital Foundation to discuss the possibility of relocating the new hospital to the Crumlin Hospital site. He also met with property developer Noel Smyth to discuss relocating the hospital to a site outside the M50 owned by Smyth. When Lynch sought to present to the board a proposal to build the new hospital on Smyth’s land, he was obliged to resign his position by Mary Harney. He was replaced as chairman by businessman John Gallagher.[5]In March 2011, after a new health minister was appointed following a general election, Lynch went on radio to make the case that the a city centre location for the new hospital would be inaccessible and have parking difficulties. He said that the ‘people who designed the M50, when that was agreed on, everything was going to happen outside of that’ and described the city centre as a ‘cul-de-sac’.[6] He described the decision to locate the hospital in the city centre as ‘political’.[7]One51 shareholder revolt[edit]In 2010, Philip Lynch was paid \u20ac1.4m including bonus as chief executive of One51 plc. A shareholder revolt ensued at the company’s AGM in July. Rebel shareholders led by Gerry Killen, Alf Smiddy, Mike Soden and Peter Brennan, criticised Lynch’s remuneration in a year in which the company reported a loss of \u20ac11m and challenged his reappointment.[8] Lynch survived the revolt.Court case over bank loan[edit]In March 2011, a court hearing was held in relation to an unpaid loan for \u20ac25m owed to AIB by Lynch, his wife and four children. The loan was secured on land in Waterford. In his defence, Lynch says that the loan was made on a non-recourse basis.[9] On 8 December 2011 the Irish Courts found in favour of AIB.One 51 Dismissal[edit]On 1 July 2011, Lynch was apparently dismissed from One51. A drop in share price, shareholder discontent with his remuneration package and a Revenue investigation into the routing of patent royalties into a bonus scheme which was paid directly to himself and other individuals were believed to have contributed to Lynch’s dismissal.[citation needed]References[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki6\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki6\/philip-lynch-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Philip Lynch – Wikipedia"}}]}]
