In taking on a project we need to know we can pay for it. In 2016, the national children's hospital was announced and the figure given by the Taoiseach was €650 million all in. Where would that figure have come from? Under the big capital projects, did the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform have had a guesstimate at that stage?
Is the same the case for the national broadband plan? Is it a guesstimate or an estimate? How does that play out?
