Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I will clarify the point Deputy Clare Daly has raised. This is in the event that we get more than the €110 million. Anything above the €110 million would go towards the national children's hospital. As Deputy Crowe has said, we are far from that at present. With the mandate I have from this House and again from the debate we have had today, I will continue to maintain the dialogue with the 18 religious congregations to pursue this matter on behalf of the people with the clear understanding that there is cross-party support in this House.
