Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

The red light goes on for me. I feel passionate about how public money is spent. In recent days, I was contacted by a school for those with disabilities in Sandymount — Enable Ireland. The school is short of funding for a programme for 15 disabled children for the month of July. These are severely physically and mentally handicapped children. There is a problem with funding, yet the figures for Carrickmines exceed costs by €6 million. We need to have a debate about credibility, money and enormous costs.
