Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The Taoiseach's description of the construction of health facilities compared to the normal commercial activity involved in the case he cited of a hotel is sobering and dispiriting. If the man who has been Taoiseach for almost ten years tells us that is the stage of desperation he has reached about moving a project like that from conception to execution, it is a poor lookout. I accept there are differences but I am not sure I understand how complex the building of a hospital can be. We put a man on the moon a long time ago. I am completely bemused.
