Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Today it was announced the children's hospital on the Mater site will be built by 2015. Is it intended to introduce a separate Estimate for the Department of Health and Children to deal with this?

I cannot find any legislation regarding the children's referendum in this session's legislative programme. Has the Government dropped the idea of having a referendum on the protection of children?
