Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I counted approximately four questions there. No matter what I said yesterday the Deputy was not going to be satisfied with the apology because she had decided her position on this. That is okay because that is the style of her party, which is not hearing what people have to say before deciding the action to be taken. It is a parliamentary stunt her party uses regularly.

The Deputy's assertion on capital is completely untrue. We, as a Government, published what we were doing yesterday. We are very detailed and very clear on that. What it shows is the scaremongering that her party has been engaged in throughout the country, saying individual projects will not happen. That is not true but Sinn Féin should not let the facts get in the way of its narrative.

The Deputy factually misled the Dáil herself, so maybe she will apologise for suggesting that the project has overrun by €0.5 billion. That is obviously incorrect. The annual breakdown of capital funding to the end of 2018 was €235.64 million, so the project has not overrun. I presume what she means is that there is a projected overrun-----
