Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The development board was established less than a year ago. It is recruiting a chief executive officer for the project. The board members are involved in significant work. The board is comprised of incredibly dedicated people with enormous experience in handling major projects, together with a number of clinicians from the children's hospital and paediatricians generally. I am satisfied the board is doing everything to advance the project with a view to it being completed by 2012.
