We all want a national children's hospital. We all want the best facilities, particularly for our children. I have had reasons to attend Temple Street and Crumlin hospitals and I am aware of the condition of those facilities. I do not accept that it is not possible to put a value on the new facility. It is one of the central roles of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to do that. Mr. Watt is the Secretary General of that Department. Value for money is a key role of his Department. Mr. Watt said that nobody can put a value on the facility. It is core element of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
