There is a clear case here that where a serious situation is rising again regarding the children's hospital and there are very few forums where this issue can be dealt with. The one forum where it can be dealt with is here and if a body within the Oireachtas wants to hopefully approve that, if they want to deny that request, let us see what happens but we need to test this. We cannot sit back here and allow the situation out at the children's hospital to continue to drift. There are major issues there with what is being described as a double contract, a stage contract. The cost overruns are enormous and then there is the speed at which it is being built. There is no doubt it is needed but I am very concerned by the revelation yesterday that we do not even have a timeline for completion or delivery of that project.
