In the context of the forthcoming national paediatric hospital development board (amendment) Bill and in light of recent highlighted concerns, will the Taoiseach give a commitment that there will be no further delays in the construction of the national children's hospital? It is a critical piece of infrastructure for sick children throughout the country.

According to the legislative programme, the geothermal energy development Bill is due to be published next year. Will the Taoiseach confirm whether the Government has any intention of bringing forward a legislative framework to deal with wind energy, which is an issue of serious concern to many people, particularly in the midlands? Will that framework be brought forward before any large-scale planning applications for industrial wind farms are submitted?
