Dublin hospital complains to minister over event disruptions, leading to new city policy.

The National Maternity Hospital in Dublin has complained to the Health Minister about disruptions caused by large events like the Dublin City Marathon and Women's Mini-Marathon, which block hospital access for patients and staff. Professor Shane Higgins, the hospital's master, urged event rerouting to avoid traffic issues. In response, Dublin City Council implemented a new policy, including a hospital control center to work with event organizers and minimize disruptions.
