Let us have lots more of the Deputy's suggestions, which will, of course, be considered, but when they are considered they will have to be carefully costed. The Deputy hopes what has happened with the national children's hospital will not stop us from embarking on big projects, and it will not, but it will certainly make us more careful. It will also put a burden on the Opposition to not just throw out castles in the air like this but to acknowledge that such suggestions will cost billions of euro and that they do not know where those billions of euro are going to come from.
