I do not deal in anonymous reports. I have said clearly there is but one process in regard to the national children's hospital. The Government has set out, as part of its programme, that one of the major priorities is to build a national children's hospital for all the children of Ireland in the best way possible with credibility. The Dolphin report, which was commissioned by the Minister for Health, is in the hands of the Minister, who has been considering it for some time. Inevitably, questions arise from elements of that. The process is that the Minister will brief the Tánaiste and me on his findings, and thereafter he will bring his recommendation to the Government. The Government, when making its decision, will be absolutely cognisant of doing the best thing for the children of the country. That is the process, and anything the Deputy hears outside that is speculation.
