Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Yes, I can. The only funds that have been transferred from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport relate to the A5 project which has been deferred because there is no Executive in Northern Ireland. I will be turning the sod for a new runway for Dublin Airport with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, on Thursday. We will be turning the sod for the N4 project in Sligo, which will improve access to the north west. I look forward to coming to the south west to turn the sod on the project Deputy Michael Healy-Rae refers to.

I have absolutely no doubt that all over the country, people will be falsely claiming that projects in their constituencies are being held up because of the cost overruns for the national children's hospital. That is not true.
