Mr. Jim Breslin:

One of the things written in the letter in May was that there are two fundamental issues. The first is that the impact of the increased costs of the national children's hospital on capital funding for 2020 and beyond is still to be resolved. With that uncertainty, there was a fear on the part of the HSE that it would have to carry all the increased costs of the children's hospital in 2020. The fact that the summer economic statement on Tuesday put an additional reserve in place of €200 million for that and for broadband takes that off the table. That concern is now gone.
