I find it hard to understand how the Irish government could build a national maternity hospital and turn it over to a Catholic order of nuns to run.  I know there have been promises made about providing all legal services, but why believe that?  

I don't know Ireland.  Is there some reason that the government would again turn over care of women and children to an institution that is still suffering a terrific loss of trust from their abuse of children and women, not just sex abuse of children, but the physical abuses, too, of children and the horrific abuses of women in the Magdalene laundries.  

Why turn another major government service over to them again when the past says they don't do well with it?  And, sorry, but the government doesn't oversee things very well, either.
